Answer:
156in²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area is calculated by finding the area of each shape forming the entire figure.
starting with the rectangle, area=length×width
=14 in× 5 in
=70in²
the area of the bigger semicircle= 1/2πr²
=1/2×3.14×7in×7in
=76.63in²
the area of the smaller semicircle=1/2πr²
=1/2×3.14×2.5in×2.5in
=9.8125 in²
we then add the areas of the the three constituent shapes of the figure.
70in²+76.63in²+9.8125in²=156.44in²
