Question

What is the area of the figure? How do you find it?

Answer 1

The area of a square is just side times side. So 3 * 3 = 9. 

There are 4 half-circles which is the same as 2 full circles. Area of a circle is pi * the radius squared or $A = \pi r^{2}$.

So we do 2(pi * (1.5)²) >> 2(2.25pi) = 4.5pi.

Now we add our two areas together. So the area of the whole thing is represented by the equation 4.5pi + 9. Plug this into a calculator to get your accurate measurement. 

4.5pi + 9 ≈ 23.137 m²
