Answer: 76.56sqcm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle= length * width

= 16 * 4 = 64sqcm

Area of semicircle= (1/2)(r^2)π

r= d/2= 4/2= 2

Area of semicircle= (1/2)(2^2)(3.14)

= 6.28sqcm

Area of bookmark= Area of rectangle + 2*Area of semicircle

Area of bookmark= 64 + 2(6.28)

=64 + 12.56 = 76.56sqcm
