Find the area of the figure to the nearest square unit.

The area of the given figure to the nearest sqaure unit is given by (D) 49 sq.cm.
Area of a figure suggests that the geometrical figure spreads over on how much place.
If the length of rectangle is l and width is w then the area of the rectangle (A) is given by,
A = l*w
If the radius of a semicircle is r then the area of the semicircle (A) is given by,
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}\pi r^2[/tex]
In the given figure, the upper part is a semicircle and lower part is a rectangle.
Length of rectangle is 8 cm and width of the rectangle is 3 cm.
Then the area of the rectangle = 8*3 = 24 sq. cm
The diameter of the circle is 8 cm.
then the radius of the semicircle is = 8/2 = 4 cm
Hence the area of the semicircle [tex]=\frac{1}{2}\pi4^2=\frac{1}{2}\pi.16=8\pi\approx25.13[/tex] sq. cm.
So the total area of the given figure = 24 + 25.13 = 49.13 sq. cm.
Aprroximating area to nearest number we get 49 sq. cm.
Hence the correct option is (D).
