1. Check the picture. Let the radius of the semicircle be R, so the width of the rectangle is 2R, and let the height of the rectangle be H.
2. The perimeter of the semicircle is

the total perimeter is

We can write H in terms of R, in order to decrease the number of variables:



3. The total area as a function of R is the area of the semicircle + the area of the rectangle:


so

is clearly a quadratic function, with its graph a parabola which opens downward (since the coefficient of R^2 is negative)
The maximal value of A(R) is the maximal value the parabola can reach, that is its vertex.
4.

means the roots are at R=0 and R=11, so the axis of symmetry passes through R=11/2
thus the vertex point is (11/2, A(11/2))=(11, 2*(11/2)(11-11/2))=(11, 11*11/2)=(11,121/2)
=(11, 60.5)
5. Answer: Largest possible area is 60.5 feet squared

B. 33.5 is your answer
First you want to add 12+4 because it is in parentheses
8.5+16x2-7
Then you multiply 16 by 2
8.5+32-7
Then you add 8.5 to 32
40.5-7
Then you subtract 7 from 40.5 giving you your answer
33.5
