Answer:
Area of the shaded region = 6.88 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the shaded region = Area of the rectangle - Area of the semicircle
Area of the rectangle = Length × Width
Length of the rectangle = AD = 8 cm
Width of the rectangle = OP = 4 cm [OP, OB and OC are the radii of the circle which are equal in measures]
Area of the rectangle = 8 × 4 = 32 cm²
Area of the semicircle = 
= 
= 
= 25.12 cm²
Area of the shaded region = 32 - 25.12
= 6.88 cm²
Hello!
You need to separate this into two rectangles and add their areas together
first rectangle
3 * 6 = 18
rectangle 2
3 * 2 = 6
18 + 6 = 24
the answer is 24in squared
..........The answer is D
A radius of 0.75 would be rational because the decimal ends and does not repeat itself.
