First, let's find the area of the rectangle.We know that the area of a rectangle is the length times width, or  20⋅32in this example:20⋅32=640So the area of the rectangle is  640ft2.You may not know the area of a semicircle, but that's fine  −we know the area of a circle, or  πr2.Since the area of a semicircle is half the area of a circle, we just do the area of the circle divided by  2:So the area of a semicircle is  πr22.The question asks for  πto just be  3.14, so instead the equation is  A=3.14r22The picture gives the diameter of the circle.To find the radius, or  r, we divide the diameter by  2:202=10Now we can solve for the area of the semicircle:3.14(10)223.14(100)23142157ft2Now that we now the areas of the rectangle and semicircle, we can add them up to find the area of the rose garden:640+157=797ft2
