Question

Find the area of the composite figure to the nearest half unit. Use 3.14 for π.

Answer 1

20 cm^2

Explanation:

First, you want to find the area of the entire rectangle.

It would be base*height, or 9*3=27 cm^2

Then, you can subtract the area of the half-circle.

Its radius is 1.5 cm.

So, it would be 2.25pi, or about 7cm^2.

Then, you could do 27-7 to get 20 cm^2 as the area

Answer 2

27-1/2(1.5)^2pi

Explanation:

subtract the semicircle
