Answer:
The area of the shape is 21.87 square feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the indent on the right is a perfect semicircle, then you need only subtract the area of the semicircle from the area of the rectangle.
The rectangle is six feet on both directions, giving it an area of 36 square feet.
The circle then has a radius of 3 feet. The area of a circle is equal to πr², so in this case, π × 9. Using a pi value of 3.14, nine times that is 28.26. We only want half the circle's area though, giving us 14.13.
Now we can subtract that semicircle from the square giving us:
36 - 14.13 = 21.87
So the total area is 21.87 square feet.
