68.56 or 69 rounded I just multiplied 14cm and 4 for the area of the rectangle and multiplied 4 by pi since the radius was 2 and the exponent was two it equaled four look at the picture if you don’t understand

Answer:

The area of the bookmark is  68.56  cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Separate the bookmark into simpler shapes as described in the problem: a rectangle and a circle (two semicircles of the same size).

Find the area of the simpler figures.

Rectangle

A = LW

A = 14 · 4

A = 56

The area of the rectangle is 56 cm2.

Circle

A = πr2

A = 3.14(2)2

A = 3.14(4)

A = 12.56

The area of the circle is 12.56 cm2.

Find the area of the bookmark.

A = 56 + 12.56

A = 68.56

The area of the bookmark is 68.56 cm².
