The area covered if the side measures 5 meters. is 34.68 m²
The area of the shown figure is given as:
Area of the figure = area of square + area of a semicircle
Area of square = 5^2 = 25 square meters
Area of semicircle = πr²/2
Area of semicircle = (3.14)(2.5)²/2
Area of semicircle =9.6875 square meter
Area of the figure = 25 + 9.6875
Area of the figure = 34.68 square metres
Hence the area covered if the side measures 5 meters. is 34.68 m²
