Question

Here is a picture that shows one side of a child's wooden block with a semicircle cut out at the bottom. What is the area of the wooden block? *HINT (subtract the semi-circle from the rectangle)* The face of an arch-shaped block. The horizontal side of the block is labeled 9 centimeters and the vertical side of the block is labeled 4.5 centimeters. A semi circle with diameter labeled 5 centimeters is removed from the block.

Answer 1

Answer:

30.7 cm² (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the wooden block = area of rectangle - area of semi-circle

Area of Rectangle = length × width

Length = 9 cm

Width = 4.5 cm

Area of rectangle = 40.5 cm²

Area of semi-circle = ½(πr²)

Radius (r) = ½ of diameter = ½*5 = 2.5 cm

π = 3.14

Area of semi-circle = ½(3.14*2.5²)

Area of semi-circle = 9.8125 cm²

✅Area of the wooden block = 40.5 - 9.8125 = 30.7 cm² (nearest tenth)
