Respuesta :

Considering the figures, the area that will be painted is of 38.9 square feet.

What is the area of a rectangle?


The area of a rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

[tex]A = lw[/tex]

What is the area of a triangle?

The area of a triangle of base b and height h is given by:

[tex]A = \frac{bh}{2}[/tex]

What is the area of a semi-circle?

The area of a semi-circle of radius r is given by:

[tex]A = 0.5\pi r^2[/tex]

In this problem:

  • The rectangle with l = 6 ft and w = 8 ft will be painted, along with the triangle of dimensions b = 8 ft and h = 4 ft.
  • The semi-circle with r = 4 ft will not be painted.

Hence, the area that will be painted, in square feet, is given by:

[tex]A = 6 \times 8 + \frac{8(4)}{2} - 0.5\pi 4^2 = 64 - 8\pi = 38.9[/tex]
