Conner's work is correct. To combine and make it simple, you Multiply:
(3^5+9)+(6^8+10) which will equal 3^14 6^18.
But Jane's work, instead of adding, Jane multiplies. So, Conner is correct.
Hope that helped!

Rectangle:
A=l(w)
A=12(6)
A=72cm^2
Semicircle:
r=6/2
r=3
A=(3.14(r)^2(1/2)
A=3.14(3)^2(1/2)
A=3.14(9)(1/2)
A=14.13cm^2
A=14.1cm^2
Total area: 72cm^2 + 14.1cm^2 = 86.1cm^2
