Answer 2

Explanation:

Comment

The radius is 33 feet. The height is really a radius. The diameter consists of 2*r

r = diameter / 2

diameter = 66 feet

r = 66 /2 = 33

So you have 2 ways of finding the radius.

Solution

Area of a full circle = pi r^2

Area of a full circle = pi * 33^2

Area of a full circle = 1089 pi

Area of a semicircle = area of a full circle / 2

Area of a semicircle = 1089 * pi /2

Area of a semicircle = 544.5 * pi

Answer

Exact answer in terms of pi is 544.5 * pi

Approximate answer using 3.14 for pi = 3.14*544.5 = 1709.73
