Question

A rose garden is formed by joining a rectangle and a semicircle, as shown below. the rectangle is 27ft long and 18ft wide. find the area of the garden. use the value 3.14 for π , and do not round your answer. be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

The area of the garden will be given by:
Area=(area of rectangle)+(area of semi circle)
area of rectangle will be:
A=27×18=486 ft²

Area of the semi circle will be:
A=1/2πr²
A=1/2×3.14×(18/2)²
A=127.17 ft²
Thus the total area will be:
486+127.17
=613.17 ft²
