Question 1086988: I need to find the combined surface area of a semicircle and a triangle. The triangle has a hypotenuse of sqrt 5, and a base of 2. It is an isosceles triangle. The semicircle has a radius of sqrt5/2. The answer must be in decimal form, and dimensions are in inches. I have tried multiple times and gotten the wrong answer each time.
