Answer:
1608.5[tex]cm^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a circle is π[tex]r^{2}[/tex].
So, it's π * [tex]32^{2}[/tex].
[tex]32^{2} = 1024[/tex]
1024 * π = 3216.990877 (using π as 3.141592654)
Divided by 2 (because it's a semicircle), it's 1608.495439.
Rounded to 1 DP, it's 1608.5 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex].
