How to find the area of the composite figures?

To find area of the composite figures,

  • Separate the figure.
  • Calculate the are of the each figure by which the composite figure is made of.
  • Add the area of all the individual figures to get the total area of composite figures.

The dimentions of the rectangle is 3 by 4 foot. The area of the rectangle is,

[tex]A_r=3\times4\\A_r=12\rm \;ft^2[/tex]

The radius of the semicircle is 1.5 m. The area of the semicircle is,

[tex]A_{sc}=\dfrac{1}{2}\pi\times(1.5)^2\\A_{sc}=\dfrac{1}{2}(3.14)\times(1.5)^2\\A_{sc}=3.5325\rm\; ft^2[/tex]

The area of the composite figure is,

[tex]A=12+3.5325\\A=15.5325\rm\;ft^2\\[/tex]

The rate of  painting is $2.00 per square foot. Thus the cost to paint the figure is,

[tex]A=15.5325\times2\\A=31.065[/tex]

Hence, the cost of painting the rectangular board with a semicircular top is $31.065 to the nearest hundredth.
