Q. Find the Area of the figure below, composed of a rectangle and a semicircle. Round to the nearest tenths place.
Get Dimensions: First, we need the dimensions of the rectangle and the semicircle to calculate the area. Let's say the rectangle has a length of 'l' and a width of 'w', and the semicircle has a radius 'r' which is equal to '2w'.
Calculate Rectangle Area: Now, calculate the area of the rectangle using the formula Arect=l×w.
Calculate Semicircle Area: Then, calculate the area of the semicircle. The area of a full circle is πr2, so the area of a semicircle is (1/2)πr2. Since r=w/2, we'll use that for the calculation.
Add Areas: Add the area of the rectangle and the area of the semicircle to get the total area of the figure.
Round Total Area: Finally, round the total area to the nearest tenths place as instructed.
