Q. Find the Area of the figure below, composed of a rectangle with two semicircles removed. Round to the nearest tenths place.
Identify Dimensions and Radius: Step 1: Identify the dimensions of the rectangle and the radius of the semicircles. Assume the rectangle has a length of 10cm and a width of 6cm. The radius of each semicircle is 3cm (half of the width of the rectangle).
Calculate Rectangle Area: Step 2: Calculate the area of the rectangle. Area of rectangle = length × width = 10cm×6cm = 60cm2.
Calculate Semicircle Area: Step 3: Calculate the area of one semicircle. Area of a semicircle = (π×radius2)/2. For one semicircle, Area = (π×32)/2=(π×9)/2≈14.1cm2.
Calculate Total Semicircles Area: Step 4: Calculate the total area of the two semicircles. Total area of semicircles = 2×14.1cm2=28.2cm2.
Find Figure Area: Step 5: 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 = 60cm2−28.2cm2=31.8cm2.
