Estimate the area of a circle with a radius of 16 meters. use 22/7 or pi

62 square meters

531 square meters

805 square meters

1,608 square meters

the drawing is composed of a rectangle and a semicircle. find the area of the figure to the nearest unit

( picture of a square with 10cm

1. Area of a circle is pi(R)^2 , where R is the radius. So we can substitute:

22/7(16^2) = about 805 meters squared.

2. Let's find the area of the rectangle first.

A=LW
A= 18(10)

A= 180 cm squared.

Now the semi-Circle:

The radius of the circle is 9 (because 18/2 is 9). Now we plug in to the area formula:

22/7(9^2) = about 254 cm squared. But because that is the area of the whole circle, and we only need half of the circle, we divide that value by 2 to get:

127 cm squared for the semi-circle.

Now we add up the rectangle and semi-circle's areas:

180 + 127 = 307 cm squared as your answer.

I hope this Helps!
