148cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

seriously why, just why? okay, hold on, we're gonna be here a while

Let's start with the triangles, they're all equal, and we already have their measurements and the formula for the area of a triangle is base x height ÷ 2, so all we have to do is plug:

5 x 8 = 40

40 ÷ 2 = 20

Now we have to multiply by 3 because there's 3 of these abominations:

20 x 3 = 60

So we put that on a back burner while we do the semicircle

So the formula for the area of a circle is pi x radius², so we have to find the radius. We know that each of the triangle bottoms is 5cm, so we just multiply by 3:

5 x 3 = 15

So the diameter of the semicircle is 15cm, now we divide that by two to find the radius:

15 ÷ 2 = 7.5

Now we just plug that into our formula (we're using 3.14 for pi)

7.5² = 56.25

3.14 x 56.25 = 176.625‬

Usually, we'd stop there, but it's only half of a circle, so:

176.625 ÷ 2 = 88.3125‬

So now we add both of our areas:

60 + 88.3125‬ =

148.3125‬

Normally, that would be the answer, but since we're supposed to be estimating, we round it to the nearest whole number:

148.3125 -> 148

So the area of the figure is 148cm²

if this is wrong, let me know so I can fix it

hope this helps:)
