question 14
use 3.14 for pi.
find the area of the figure round to the nearest hundredth if necessary:

This question is easy if you think about it. First get the area of the rectangular part of the shape and then find area of the two semi-circles then add them together.

First, let's solve for the rectangle because it's easier.

Area for finding a rectangle A = w * l

A = 23 * 37
A = 851

Now for the semi-circle. First use the equation for finding the area of a circle which is A = Pi * r^2. We'll use 3.14 for Pi.

We know the diameter is 23. And to get the radius we just half it because the radius is half of the diameter.

23 / 2 = 11.5

A = 3.14 * 11.5^2
A = 3.14 * 132.25
A = 415.265

Now we have the total area for both semi-circles. Because if we half 415.265 then add the other semi-circle's area it will be the same and adding them up will result in 415.265.

Now add up 851 and 415.265.

851 + 415.265 = 1266.265

The first one, i believe, would be correct. all the others have one thing in common, and that's that they have repeating numbers. in the second one, x and y have repeating 6's and 3's, and in the third, x and y have repeating 6's as well. in the last one, there are repeating 3's. the first one has no repeating numbers.
