Q. Find the Area of the figure below, composed of a rectangle with two semicircles removed. Round to the nearest tenths place.
  1. Identify Dimensions and Radius: Step 11: Identify the dimensions of the rectangle and the radius of the semicircles. Assume the rectangle has a length of 10cm10\,\text{cm} and a width of 6cm6\,\text{cm}. The radius of each semicircle is 3cm3\,\text{cm} (half of the width of the rectangle).
  2. Calculate Rectangle Area: Step 22: Calculate the area of the rectangle. Area of rectangle = length ×\times width = 10cm10\, \text{cm} ×\times 6cm6\, \text{cm} = 60cm260\, \text{cm}^2.
  3. Calculate Semicircle Area: Step 33: Calculate the area of one semicircle. Area of a semicircle = (π×radius2)/2(\pi \times \text{radius}^2) / 2. For one semicircle, Area = (π×32)/2=(π×9)/214.1cm2(\pi \times 3^2) / 2 = (\pi \times 9) / 2 \approx 14.1 \, \text{cm}^2.
  4. Calculate Total Semicircles Area: Step 44: Calculate the total area of the two semicircles. Total area of semicircles = 2×14.1cm2=28.2cm22 \times 14.1 \, \text{cm}^2 = 28.2 \, \text{cm}^2.
  5. Find Figure Area: Step 55: Subtract the area of the semicircles from the area of the rectangle to find the area of the figure. Area of figure = Area of rectangle - Total area of semicircles = 60cm228.2cm2=31.8cm260 \, \text{cm}^2 - 28.2 \, \text{cm}^2 = 31.8 \, \text{cm}^2.
