What is the approximate area of the composite figure shown? Use three point one four for pi.

help pls

HELP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the area of a square is A = b*h and the area of a semicircle is A = pi*r^2/2 so the area of the composite figure is A = b*h+pi*r^2/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not a square a rectangle*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of wait so do i find the area of both the shapes then i add them up?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok can you tell me formula for circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so 240+

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its more like 290-something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what??? |

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm, HELPMEWITHMYQUESTION what would be the area for the "rectangular" part of it only?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 12*20=240 then i add 240 with area of half a circle right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jdoe im saying the rectangle would be 240

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12*20+pi/2*6

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ok... and now about the semi-circle on the right what would be its "radius"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 would e radies

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

|dw:1379191823580:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so now wat?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 3.14*6^2

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so 6 is the radius, let's get is Area then, area of a circle \(\large \boldsymbol{\pi r^2}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ohh... yes. 3.14. * 6^2... well, HALF-THAT is the area of the SEMI-circle

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

semi = half

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 113.04 if i did 3.14*6^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now i divide 113.04/2?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yeap, because 113.04 is the Area of the whole circle, but the "figure" is only using half a circle, so half its Area only

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when i do that i get 56.52

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now i add 240+56?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ok, that's the Area of the "semi-circular" part, add that to the "rectangular" part and that sum will be the Area of the figure :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

296?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

around 296*

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yeap

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i gace u meadal for helping me thx man

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
