Jambmaths question:
Find the area of the figure above
Option A:
12.5cm2
Option B:
75.0cm2
Option C:
78.5cm2
Option D:
84.8cm2
Jamb Maths Solution:
$\begin{align} & Area\text{ }of\text{ }the\text{ }rectangle=15\times 5c{{m}^{2}}=75c{{m}^{2}} \\ & Area of the semicircle=\frac{\pi {{r}^{2}}}{2}=\frac{22}{7}\times {{\left( \frac{5}{2} \right)}^{2}}\times \frac{1}{2}\approx 9.821c{{m}^{2}} \\ & Total\text{ }area=(75+9.821)c{{m}^{2}}\approx 84.8c{{m}^{2}}\text{ (1d}\text{.p)} \\\end{align}$
