Answer:
2.35 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the shape into shapes you can calculate the area of: a rectangle with a semi-circle on top, minus a square.
1. Calculate the area of the rectangle. Formula for area of a rectangle is length · width
1 m · 2 m = 2 m²
2. Calculate the area of the semi-circle. Formula for a semi-circle is [tex]\frac{\pi r^{2} }{2}[/tex] (use 3.14 for π) (radius is equal to half the diameter)
3.14(0.5)² = 0.785
0.785 ÷ 2 = 0.3925 m²
3. Combine the total area
2 + 0.3925 = 2.3925
4. Calculate the area of the square that will not be painted. Formula for area of a square is s² (side · side)
0.2² = 0.04 m²
5. Subtract the area of the square from the total area
2.3925 - 0.04 = 2.3525
2.3525 rounds to 2.35 m²
