Answer:
So I can't actually do this at the moment but I'll try to explain what to do
first find the area of the rectangle (12x16)
then, the confusing part, pretend the semicircle is a full circle and find the area and divide by 2
add the two up and put 
and that should be it
As I look into the problem with a deeper meaning then math I realize this answer can be not as hard as it appears and it could be hard to answer it

To figure out the size of a rectangle that would represent the swimming pool, you will use the formula for volume of a rectangle or prism to solve for the area of the base.
V = Bh
1200 = 5B
B = 240 square feet
To get an area of 240 ft.², you could use the dimensions 10' x 24'. Another possibility would be 8' x 30'.
