Question 705669: the geometric figure consists of a square and 4 semicircles. The diameters of the semicircles are the sides of the square, and each diameter is 10 centimeters long. What is the closest approximation of the total area in square centimeters? Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two semicircles is the area of one circle, so there are the equivalent of 2 circles of diameter 10 cm. in this figure.
Area to calculate = The square + two circles
Area of a circle is 3.14159...*((1/2)*d)^2, where d is the diameter, 10 cm.
