Answer:

5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter side be a, longer side be b, hypotenuse be c

By Pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c²

a² + (a + 7)² = (a + 8)²

a² + a² + 14a + 49 = a² + 16a + 64

a² - 2a - 15 = 0

a² + 3a - 5a - 15 = 0

a(a + 3) - 5(a + 3) = 0

(a + 3)(a - 5) = 0

a = -3 or a = 5

Because a is a side length and is a positive number

a = 5

Area of semi circle: you know the radius is 5. 5^2 * pi = 25pi/2 = 12.5pi
For triangle: bh/2 = (10 * 10)/2 = 50
Add them together: 12.5pi + 50
12.5pi = 39.25
39.25 + 50 = 89.25
It’s closest to D
