[tex]Area_{figure}=789\text{ square inches}[/tex]
Explanation
Step 1
to find the total area , we need to divide the figure in a rectangle plus harf circle
so, the area for a rectangle is given by:
[tex]\text{Area}_{rec\tan gle}=length\cdot width[/tex]
and the area for a circle is
[tex]\text{Area}_{circle}=\pi\cdot radius^2[/tex]
but, we need the area of a half circle ,so
[tex]\text{Area}_{half\text{ circle}}=\frac{Area_{circle}}{2}=\pi\cdot radius^2[/tex]
so, the toal area of th figure is
[tex]Area_{figure}=Area_{rec\tan gle}+Area_{half\text{ circle}}\text{ }[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} Area_{figure}=length\cdot width+\pi\cdot radius^2 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]
Step 2
Let
length= 28 in
width=21 in
radius = 8 in
replace and calculate
[tex]\begin{gathered} Area_{figure}=length\cdot width+\pi\cdot radius^2 \\ Area_{figure}=(28\cdot21)+\pi\cdot8^2 \\ Area_{figure}=588+64\pi \\ Area_{figure}=789.06in^2 \\ \text{rounded} \\ Area_{figure}=789\text{ square inches} \end{gathered}[/tex]
I hope this helps you
