The figure below shows two half-circles at the ends of a rectangle with the dimensions shown. A figure is shown with two half-circles at the ends of a rectangle. The rectangle at the center has a width of 25 inches and a height of 6 inches. The 6 inch ends of the rectangle are diameters of the two half-circles. Which is closest to the area of the figure in square inches? A. 263 B. 207 C. 178 D. 164

178

Explanation:

According to my calculations, and some review on the formulas, I concluded with the answer 178. I got this answer through these steps:

1. We must calculate the area of the rectangle, which is width times height (25 X 6) which equals 150. Now that we have summed this answer, we must find the area of the two semi-circles. We know the height of the rectangle is the diameter of both semi circles, therefore we can discover the radius which is half of the diameter, (3^2) pi which equals 9 pi, as there are two semi circles which will make a whole.

2. This is the final step is to plug in our answers.

150+3(9.424) which equals approximately 178.

I see you are in college, I am in 9th grade, so I apologize if this answer is wrong.

i believe the answer is b. we

when alex falls for the charming new boy at school, cole -- a handsome, funny, sports star who adores her - she can't believe she's finally found her soul who truly loves and understands her.  

at first, alex is blissfully happy. sure, cole seems a little jealous of her relationship with her close friend zack, but what guy would want his girlfriend spending all her time with another boy? as the months pass, though, alex can no longer ignore cole's small put-downs, pinches, or increasingly violent threats.  

as alex struggles to come to terms with the sweet boyfriend she fell in love with and the boyfriend whose "love" she no longer recognizes, she is forced to choose -- between her "true love" and herself.
