Question

A bookmark is shaped like a rectangle with a semicircle attached at both ends. The rectangle is 10 cm long and 4 cm wide. The diameter of each circle is the width of the rectangle. What is the area of the bookmark? Use 3.14 for π.
The area of the bookmark is cm2.

Plzz help me

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of the bookmark = 52.56 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The two semicircles attached at both end of the rectangle will give us a full circle.

Therefore,

Area of the bookmark = area of rectangle + Area of a circle

Area of the bookmark = L × W + πr²

Length (L) = 10 cm

Width (W) = 4 cm

radius (r) = ½(4) = 2 cm

π = 3.14

Plug in the values into the equation

Area of bookmark = 10 × 4 + 3.14 × 2²

= 40 + 12.56

= 52.56 cm²
