Question

Find the area of each figure. Use 3.14

Answer 1

Answer:  23.13 square meters

===============================================================

Explanation:

The top and bottom semicircles can be joined to form a full circle. The same can be said about the left and right semicircles. Each circle has diameter 3 and radius 1.5

The area of one circle is

A = pi*r^2

A = 3.14*(1.5)^2

A = 7.065

So two circles doubles to 2*7.065 = 14.13 square meters in area.

Then the last step is to add on the area of the 3 by 3 square (area 3*3 = 9) to get 14.13+9 = 23.13

This area is approximate because pi = 3.14 is approximate. Use more decimal digits in pi to get a more accurate area. However, your teacher wants you to use this specific value so it's best to stick with 23.13

Answer 2

Answer:

23.14

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape is basically two equal-sized circles and a square.

Find the area of the square: 3 x 3 = 9

9 is the area of the square

The formula for finding the area of a circle is pi x radius squared.

3.14 x 1.5 squared = 7.06858

Round to 7.07 and multiply by 2 = 14.14

14.14 (area of both circles) + 9 (area of square) = 23.14
