Please read the following picture below and use 3.142 instead of
`\pi`

Answer 1

Check the picture below.

now, let's notice the larger "yellow" semicircle, it has a gap, the gap on the right is of a semicircle with a diameter of 10, BUT it also has a descender on the left, a part that's hanging out, that part is also a semicircle.

so if we use the descending semicircle to fill up the gap on the right, we'll end up with a filled up larger semicircle, whose diameter is 20, and whose radius is 10 cm.

`\bf \textit{area of a circle}\\\\ A=\pi r^2~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=10 \end{cases}\implies A=\pi 10^2\implies A=100\pi \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{half of that for a semicircle}}{A=\cfrac{100\pi }{2}}\implies A=50\pi \implies \stackrel{\pi =3.142}{A=157.1}`
