What is the approximate area of the composite figure shown? Use three point one four for pi. one hundred twenty point five two square feet two hundred ninety-six point five two square feet three hundred fifty-three point zero four square feet six hundred ninety-two point one six square feet
@math&ing001
First let's start with the area of the rectangle, what would that be ?
@Ail.A
240
That's right ! Now for the area of the semi circle, what do you think that would be ?
not sure
Tell me your guess
72
How did you get it ?
You can write your work on a paper, photograph it and attach it here.
i multiplied 12 and reduced 20 to what it looks like

466.194 ft
not an option @cp9454
Well the area of a circle is Area = pi*(radius)^2 = 3.14 * 6² =113.04 but since we only have a semi a semi circle we divide it by 2 to get 56.52. If you add it to the first area of the rectangle, what do you get ?
my bad mis typed correct answer is 296.54 ft
B
thanks guys
@cp9454 the point is not to give the solution, but to guide him to it, I suggest you read the code of conduct.
