Which is the area of the figure? Use 3.14 for PI

First, find the area of the square region (we know it's square since the lengths are given as the same). That would be \(4^2=16 ft^2\). Now we need to find the area of the half circle. The area of a half circle is \((\pi r^2)/2\) where \(r\) is the radius. The radius is half of the diameter, and we know the diameter to be 4ft. Therefore, the area of the half circle is \[{3.14 \cdot (4/2)^2 \over 2}={3.14 \cdot 2^2 \over 2}=3.14\cdot 2=6.28\] Now we add the two areas to get. \[16+6.28=24.28 \;\;ft^2\]

Check your math again I got 22.28.

You are correct. I messed up my addition :(
