Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the figure is made up of portion of a square and a semicircle, we have;
BC ≅ AB = 6 cm
The area of semicircle BC with radius BC/2 = 3 is 1/2×π×r² = 1/2×π×3² = 4.5·π cm²
Triangle ABC = 1/2 × Area of square from which ABC is cut
The area of triangle ABC = 1/2×Base ×Height = 1/2×AB×BC = 1/2×6×6 = 18 cm²
The area of the figure = The area of semicircle BC + The area of triangle ABC
The area of the figure = 4.5·π cm² + 18 cm² = .
