Verified Answer :

Rectangle = 18 x 6 = 108
Circle:  3.14 x (3)^2 = 3.14 x 9 = 28.26
semicircle: 28.26 / 2 = 14.13

108 + 14.13 = 122.13

answer
122.13 cm^2

Answer:

Option C \(122.1\ cm^{2}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the figure is equal to the area of a rectangle plus the area of semicircle

Step 1

Find the area of the rectangle

The area of the rectangle is equal to

\(A=bh\)

we have

\(b=18\ cm\)

\(h=6\ cm\)

substitute

\(A=18*6=108\ cm^{2}\)

Step 2

Find the area of semicircle

The area of semicircle is equal to

\(A=\frac{1}{2}\pi r^{2}\)

we have

\(r=6/2=3\ m\)

substitute

\(A=\frac{1}{2}(3.14)(3^{2})=14.1\ cm^{2}\)

Step 3

Find the area of the figure

\(108\ cm^{2}+14.1\ cm^{2}=122.1\ cm^{2}\)
