Question

The radius of a semicircle is 3 feet. What is the semicircle's area?Use 3.14 for Pi​

Answer 1

Answer:

14.13 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a semicircle is

$= \frac{\pi \: {r}^{2} }{2}$

We were given the radius of the semicircle to be: r=3 feet.

We were also asked to use π as 3.14.

We substitute into the formula to get:

$= \frac{3.14 \times {3}^{2} }{2}$

This is the same as:

$= \frac{3.14 \times 9}{2}$

Or

$= 3.14 \times 4.5$

$= 14 .13 {ft}^{2}$

The area of the semicircle is 14.13 ft²
