Answer:
215.20 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure has 2 semi-circles.
First we find the area of each circle using the formula because that is the area formula for a circle.
The semi-circle to the left gives the diameter which is 22 feet. The radius would be half the diameter thus r=11 for semi-circle one.
Then we are to find the diameter of the second semi-circle. Given the entire length to be 30 feet, 30-22 leaves us with 8 feet as its diameter thus r=4.
Left: r=11
Right: r=4
Then, plugging both into the formula for area of a circle, we get
Left: 380.1327
Right: 50.26548
We must divide each by two because we are only looking for semi-circle which is exactly half the area of a full circle.
Then,
Left: 190.066
Right: 25.1327
190.066+ 25.1327= 215.199 = 215.2ft^2
