Respuesta :

$Area(semi-circle)$Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

This is a composite shape composed of a semicircle and a square

Radius (r) = 6 m

Length (l) = 12 m

To obtain the area of the composite shape, we will sum up the areas of the semicircle and square

AREA OF SEMI-CIRCLE

[tex]\begin{gathered} Area(semi-circle)=\frac{1}{2}\pi r^2 \\ Area(semi-circle)=\frac{1}{2}\cdot3.14\cdot6^2 \\ Area(semi-circle)=56.52m^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

AREA OF SQUARE

[tex]\begin{gathered} AreaSquare=l^{2} \\ AreaSquare=12^{2}=144 \\ AreaSquare=144m^{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Total Area = Area of semicircle + Area of square = 56.52 + 144 = 200.52

Total Area = 200.52 m²
