Given:
The length of the rectangle = 16 ft
The width of the rectangle = 12 ft
The diameter of the semicircle = 12 ft
To find the area of the given figure.
Formula
where,
be the area of the given figure
be the area of the rectangle
be the area of the semicircle.
- The area of the rectangle =
where, l be the length and b be the width
- Area of the semicircle =
, r be the radius of the semicircle.
Now,
The radius of the semicircle r = 6 ft
Putting, r=6, l=16 and b= 12 we get,
sq ft
or, sq ft
sq ft
or, sq ft
So,
sq ft
= 248.52 sq ft
Rounding off to the nearest tenth, we get;
A=248.5 sq ft.
Hence,
The area of the composite figure is 248.5 sq ft.
