This triangle is half of a square shaped region (intuition from Geometry knowledge). The whole square region (if included both halves of the square) is square meters. Also, the diameter of the semicircle is 2r, if r is the radius. The height of the triangle is r.

, using formula for area of a triangle. The triangle is isosceles, 45-45-90 type.
