Question

A semicircle is attached to the side of a rectangle as shown.

What is the best approximation for the area of this figure?

Use 3.14 to approximate pi.

Answer 1

area f rectangle is 12m^2 and circle is 1/2 x Pi x radius^2 so... 2.355 so together its 14.355m^2

Answer 2

3.14x6=18.84....
3.14x2=6.28....
3.14x3=9.42....

14.355m^2 would be your answer.... I think you multiply each meter separately and then add the totals which would give you 34.54.... I'm doing this wrong but I know the answer is 14.355m^2.
