When calculating the total area of this unknown figure, you should use (π - r²)/4 for the area of both the semicircle (half circle) and the larger square.
<h3>How to determine the total area?</h3>
By critically observing this unknown figure, we can logically deduce that it comprises a semicircle, squares, a rectangle and a triangle. Thus, its total area should be calculated by adding the area of each of the geometric figures together.
Total area = A₁ + A₂ + A₃ + A₄
However, you should take note that the diameter of the semicircle (half circle) is equal to the side length of the larger square.
Area of a semicircle = πr²/4
Thus, the total area of both the semicircle (half circle) and the larger square is given by:
Area = πr²/4 - d²
<u>Note:</u> d = 2r
Area = πr²/4 - (2r)²
Area = πr²/4 - 4r²
Area = (π - r²)/4 sq. units.
