Answer:
Total area = 1500 ft^2 + 156.25π ft^2, or approx. 1990.9 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the rectangular shape is (25 ft)(60 ft) = 1500 ft^2.
The areas enclosed by the half circles are equal to the area of the circle, whose radius is 12.5 ft. This total area is A = πr^2, or
A = π(12.5 ft)^2 = 156.25π ft^2.
Now add together the area of the circle and the area of the rectangle:
Total area = 1500 ft^2 + 156.25π ft^2, or approx. 1990.9 ft^2.
