What is the approximate area of the composite figure shown? Use 3.14 for pi


choices:
258.5 sq ft
337 sq ft
219.25 sq ft
95.25 sq ft

Answer 1

the area of the composite figure would be the sum of the areas of the rectangle and semicircle. The area of the rectangle is of course, length*breadth. The area of the semicicle would be half the area of a circle i.e 1/2*pi*r^2. add them both

Answer 2

note that r, the radius, is 1/2 the width of the figure
