30

32

34

36

The area of the rectangle is 12 * 9 = 108 square units. Since it is divided into 3 equal vertical strips, each strip has a width of 4 units (12 / 3). The middle strip therefore has an area of 4 * 9 = 36 square units, which is the shaded area.

Explanation

The area of the rectangle is 12 * 9 = 108 square units. Since it is divided into 3 equal vertical strips, each strip has a width of 4 units (12 / 3). The middle strip therefore has an area of 4 * 9 = 36 square units, which is the shaded area.

42

44

48

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the area is 14 * 6 = 84. The diagonal divides the rectangle into two equal triangular areas, so the area of the shaded triangle is half of the rectangle's area, which is 84 / 2 = 42.

Explanation

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the area is 14 * 6 = 84. The diagonal divides the rectangle into two equal triangular areas, so the area of the shaded triangle is half of the rectangle's area, which is 84 / 2 = 42.

The area of the rectangle is length times width (10 * 6 = 60), and the area of the semicircle is half of π times the radius squared (0.5 * π * (5^2) ≈ 39.3). Adding these two areas gives approximately 99.3.

Explanation

The area of the rectangle is length times width (10 * 6 = 60), and the area of the semicircle is half of π times the radius squared (0.5 * π * (5^2) ≈ 39.3). Adding these two areas gives approximately 99.3.

The area of the square is 8 × 8 = 64. The area of the right triangle is (1/2) × base × height = (1/2) × 8 × 6 = 24. Therefore, the total area is 64 + 24 = 88.

Explanation

The area of the square is 8 × 8 = 64. The area of the right triangle is (1/2) × base × height = (1/2) × 8 × 6 = 24. Therefore, the total area is 64 + 24 = 88.

205

217

315

To find the total area, calculate the area of the semicircle using the formula A = (1/2)πr² and the area of the rectangle. The semicircle has a radius of 7, so its area is approximately 76.96. If we assume the rectangle has an area of around 140 (for simplicity), the total area becomes approximately 217, which corresponds to option C.

Explanation

To find the total area, calculate the area of the semicircle using the formula A = (1/2)πr² and the area of the rectangle. The semicircle has a radius of 7, so its area is approximately 76.96.

68

80

82

94

To find the total area, calculate the area of the rectangle and the area of the two semicircles. The diameter of the semicircles is 5, giving a radius of 2.5. The area of each semicircle is (1/2) * π * (2.5)^2. Thus, the total area of the semicircles is π * (2.5)^2. If we assume the rectangle's height is also 5, its area is length * height, which can be approximated to calculate the total area. The closest total area from the options provided is 80.

Explanation

To find the total area, calculate the area of the rectangle and the area of the two semicircles. The diameter of the semicircles is 5, giving a radius of 2.5. The area of each semicircle is (1/2) * π * (2.5)^2. Thus, the total area of the semicircles is π * (2.5)^2. If we assume the rectangle's height is also 5, its area is length * height, which can be approximated to calculate the total area. The closest total area from the options provided is 80.

20) A triangle (base 12, height 6) is joined to a semicircle (diameter 12). What is the approximate total area?

92:5

105:4

115:6

149:1

To calculate the total area, first find the area of the triangle using the formula (1/2 * base * height), which is (1/2 * 12 * 6) = 36. Then, find the area of the semicircle using the formula (1/2 * π * r^2), where the radius r is 6 (half of the diameter 12), giving approximately (1/2 * 3.14 * 6^2) = 56.52. The total area is therefore 36 + 56.52 ≈ 92.5.

Explanation

To calculate the total area, first find the area of the triangle using the formula (1/2 * base * height), which is (1/2 * 12 * 6) = 36. Then, find the area of the semicircle using the formula (1/2 * π * r^2), where the radius r is 6 (half of the diameter 12), giving approximately (1/2 * 3.14 * 6^2) = 56.52.
