What is the approximate area of the figure?



A.
129 square inches

B.
113 square inches

C.

D.
44 square inches

Answer 1

Ok do you see how we could take the area of the rectangle and then area of the semicircle and add them to get the total area?

Answer 2

I think so

Answer 3

Area of the rectangle = 7 * 13
Area of the semicircle = (1/2)(area of a circle)
Area of the semicircle = (1/2)(pi)(r^2)

Answer 4

we know the diameter is 7 so the radius is 3.5.
So we get:

A = (1/2)(pi)(3.5^2) + (7)(13)

Do you understand?

Answer 5

yes
