Answer:
(d)
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the semicircle is ...
A = (1/2)πr²
A = (1/2)(3.14)(4 m)² = 25.12 m²
The area of the triangle is ...
A = 1/2bh
A = 1/2(12 m)(8 m) = 48 m²
Then the total area of the composite figure is ...
total area = semicircle area + triangle area
= 25.12 m² + 48 m² = 73.12 m²
_____
Additional comment
The areas of choices A-C are too small. Choice A represents the area of the full circle. Choice B represents the area of the triangle only. Choice C is completely irrelevant. Choice D is the sum of the first two choices, inappropriately using the full circle area.
You should talk to your teacher about this question. None of the offered choices is correct.
