Landon used a semicirce, a rectangle, and a right triangle to form the figure shown. 6 cm
4 cm
- 10 cm
Which is the best estimate of the area of the figure in square centimeters?
A S2 cm
B 44 cm
C 26 cm
D 38 cm

Area of rectangle= base x height
6x4=24

Area of triangle= 0.5 base x height
We have the height but we don’t have the base, to calculate the base we subtract 10-6 which equals to 4
0.5 x 4 x4 =8

Area of a semicircle= o.5 x pi x r^2
We have the diameter and to find the radius we divide it by 2
4/2 = 2
0.5 x pi(or 3.14) x 2^2
=6.28
Total area = 24 + 8+ 6.28 =38.28cm^2
