Answer:
choice A; 128.52 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
This shape is made up of a semi-circle and a rectangle. The area of the rectangle will be 12*6 = 72 sq ft.
The formula for area of a circle is *
. also r=radius. We are given the diameter, 12 feet. The radius is diameter/2, so the radius of the circle will be 6 feet.
Since pi is infinite we round it to 3.14.
Plug in the values and our expression will be (3.14*)/2 because it is a semi-circle. Simplify that to (3.14*36)/2 = 113.04/2 = 56.52 sq ft.
Remember to add the area of the rectangle and semi-circle. 72 + 56.52 = 128.52 sq ft.
