Answer:
The answer to your question is 2236.68 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Base = 36 in
height = 48 in
radius = 36/2 = 18 in
π = 3.14
Process
1.- Calculate the area of the rectangle
Area = base x height
-Substitution
Area = 36 x 48
-Result
Area = 1728 in²
2.- Calculate the area of the semicircle
Area = πr²/2
-Substitution
Area = (3.14)(18)²/2
-Simplification
Area = (3.14)(324)/2
-Result
Area = 508.68
3.- Total area
Area = 1728 + 508.68
= 2236.68 in²
