Question

What is the area of this figure?

Answer 1

Find:  1) the area of a circle of diamter 5 feet and radius 5/2 feet.
           2) the area of a triangle with height 4 ft and base 6 ft.

Add these 2 results together:  pi*(5/2)^2 + (1/2)(6)(4)   ft

The trick here is to recognize basic shapes, find their areas separately and add the results.
