Answer:
Area: 15.53 square inches
Perimeter: 15.71 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Area:
So the area of the rectangle is pretty easy to find and is just the width * height. In this case it's 4 * 3 which is 12. Now the area of a circle is [tex]\pi r^2[/tex]. But since this is a semi circle it's half of that which is [tex]\frac{\pi r^2}{2}[/tex]. The diameter of the semicircle is 3 as it sits on top of the rectangle. The radius is half of the diameter so the radius is 1.5. Now plug that into the equation and you get [tex]\frac{(3.14) (1.5)^2}{2} = 3.5325[/tex]. Now add that to 12 and you get 15.5325. Round that number to the nearest hundredth and you get 15.53. So that's the area.
Perimeter:
Pi is the ratio of any circle's circumference to the diameter. Or in other words the circumference is equal to the diameter * 3.14. The diameter is 3 which you multiply by 3.14 to get the circumference of a circle. This will get you 9.42 but since it's a semicircle, the circumference is half of this value which is 4.71. The perimeter of the rectangle is just 2 times the width + 2 times the height. This is not completely the case in this shape since one of the sides of the rectangle is not a side of the two shapes joined together. Which is the side that is parallel to the side of length 3 inches. So the perimeter is going to be 2(4) + 3. This gives you 11 which you add to the 4.71 and get 15.71
