select from the drop-down menu to correctly complete the statement.
the area is
a 62.1 cm²
b 117.4 cm²
c 122.1 cm²
d 164.5 cm²

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the figure is equal to the area of a rectangle plus the area of semicircle

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Step 1

Find the area of the rectangle

The area of the rectangle is equal to

we have

substitute

Step 2

Find the area of semicircle

The area of semicircle is equal to

we have

substitute

Step 3

Find the area of the figure

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
