Answer:
C. 122.1
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a semicircle is HALF of the area of the circle. As the area of a circle is
. So, the area of a semicircle is
, where r is the radius.
18 × 6
= 108
108
is the area of the rectangle,
For the semicircle, we know the diameter is equal to 6 cm,
(Remember that Diameter is equal to the radius times 2 (r × 2)),
To find the radius, divide the diameter by 2,
6 ÷ 2
= 3
The radius of the semicircle is 3 cm
Now use the equation
to find the area of the semicircle,

(Remember pie is 3.14...)

![=\frac{9\pi }{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B9%5Cpi%20%7D%7B2%7D)

Now take the decimal 14.13716.... and round to the nearest tenth,
14.13
(Remember 4 or less keep it the same, 5 or more bring the value up one more)
3 less than 5 so keep the 1 the same,
14.1
Now add 108 and 14.1,
108 + 14.1
= 122.1
Therefore the total area of the shape is 122.1
. Answer ⇒ C.
