Question

A training field is formed by joining a rectangle and two semicircles, as shown below. The rectangle is 98m long and 76m wide. Find the area of the training field. 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

Without the image, I assume the two semicircles are on each end of the rectangle.

Rectangle; A = lw
A = 98 x 76
A = 7,448 square meters

Put the two semicircles together to form a circle; A = π$2^{2}$
A = (3.14)($76^{2}$)
A = 3.14 x 76 = 5,776 square meters

7,448 + 5,776 = 13,224 square meters
