A semi-circle sits on top of a rectangle to form the figure below. Find its area and perimeter. Use 3.14 for a. 2 in.
4 in.
O A = 33.12 square inches, P = 20.56 inches
O A 14.28 square inches, P20.56 inches
A = 33.12 square inches, P = 14.28 inches
O A 14.28 square inches, P = 14.28 inches

9514 1404 393

  (d)  A = 14.28 in², P = 14.28 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is wholly contained within a 4" square, which has an area of (4 in)² = 16 in², and a perimeter of 4(4 in) = 16 in. Since the figure is smaller in area and has a shorter perimeter (the top corners are rounded, not square), both answer values must be less than 16.

The only reasonable choice is the last choice: 14.28 in², 14.28 in.

If you want to figure this out in detail, you have the area of a rectangle that is 2 in by 4 in, and the area of a semicircle of radius 2 in. The total area is ...

  A = LW +1/2πr²

  A = (2 in)(4 in) + 1/2(3.14)(2 in)² = 8 in² +6.28 in²

  A = 14.28 in²

__

The perimeter is half that of a 4" square, plus half that of a 4" circle.

  P = 1/2(4(4 in) +π(4 in)) = (2 in)(4 +π) = 2(7.14) in

  P = 14.28 in

x = 12

y = 15
