Question

A rose garden is formed by joining a rectangle and a semicircle, as shown below. The rectangle is 32ft long and 26ft wide.

Find the area of the garden. Use the value 3.14 for pi, and do not round your answer. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

Using 3.14 for π, we have:

`32(26) + (1)/(2) (3.14)( {13}^(2) ) = 1097.33`

about 1,097.33 square feet
