Find the area of the figure to the nearest thousandth.

Answer:
236.625 [tex]ft^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question you need to figure out the area of the circle and the rectangle separating them. You would use this equation:
[tex]A=\pi 7.5^{2} +(4*15)[/tex]
Multiply everything in the parentheses to get the equation:
[tex]A=\pi 7.5^{2} +60[/tex]
Then square 7.5:
[tex]A= \pi 56.25+60[/tex]
Then multiply 56.25 by pi:
[tex]A=176.625+60[/tex]
Add the last two terms together to get the area of the figure which is :
[tex]A=236.625[/tex]
