Answer:
745.4 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The composite figure is made up of a rectangle 25 cm by 20 cm and a semicircle of radius 12.5 cm.
We add the two areas to find the total area.
total area = area of rectangle + area of semicircle
TA = LW + (1/2)(pi)r^2
TA = (25 cm)(20 cm) + (1/2)(3.14159)(12.5 cm)^2
TA = 500 cm^2 + 245.4 cm^2
TA = 745.4 cm^2
