Answer 1

Answer:

Area of the figure = 109 cm. square

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the semi circle is 12 ÷ 2 = 6 cm.

Area of the semi circle = $\frac{1}{2}\pi(6^{2})=18\pi$

The radius of the quarter circle is 6 cm.

Area of the quarter circle = $\frac{1}{4}\pi(6^{2}=9\pi$

The area of the rectangle = 12 × 2 = 24

The area of the figure = 18π + 9π + 24 = 108.78 ≅ 109 cm. square
