First, find the area of the rectangular area, which is w*h. According to the graphic you attached, the 5cm is a side of the rectangle, not the half-circle.
So the width of the rectangle is 8cm and the height is 5cm. 8*5=40cm^2
so the answer is ?
Now, we find the area of the half-circle. We'll need to find the area of a full circle first, then divide it by 2. The area of a circle is pir^2. The diameter is given as 8cm. So divide that by 2 to find the radius: 8/2=4. pi(4)^2=about 50.27cm^2 So divide that by 2: 50.27/2=about 25.14 Add that to the area of the rectangle: 25.14+40=about 65.1cm^2 so your answer is c
