Please someone help I can not get past this question

65.76 m

Step-by-step explanation:

This figure is split into three shapes: a right triangle, a rectangle, and a semi- circle. To find the area of the figure you can start by figuring out the area of each of the three shapes mentioned above, then adding their areas together. I'll write the numbers without the unit to make it simpler since it won't cancel out or anything.

Starting with the triangle:

1/2(b*h)=a

We see the base is 3, and the height is 5 (because the two opposite sides of a rectangle will be congruent) so if you plug the numbers into the formula you get:

1/2*15=a or 15/2=a

a=7.5

Then we calculate the area of the rectangle:

l*w=a

5*6=a

30=a

Then the area of the semi circle:

First we find the area as if it were a full circle by the equation using 3.14 as pi and 3 as r (since the denominator is 6 and half of 6 is 3):

3.14*r^2=a

3.14*3^2=a

3.14*9=a

28.26=a

Finally, we add all three areas from above:

7.5+30 + 28.26 = 65.76

x = central angle apc = measure of minor arc ac

the two angles x and 30 add to 180, so x+30 = 180 and x = 180-30 = 150. the measure of minor arc ac is 150 degrees.

what we need to do from here is find the circumference and then multiply it by x/360 since there are 360 degrees in a circle. in this case, x = 150, so x/360 = 150/360 = 15/36 = 5/12. the shortest distance along the curve from a to c is 5/12 of the distance around the entire circle (aka circumference)

c = circumference

c = pi*d

c = pi*24

c = 24pi

now multiply this by 5/12 to get

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(circumference)

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(24pi)

distance along minor arc ac = 10pi

the formula you can use is

l = (x/360)*pi*d

with

l = length of minor arc

x = central angle

d = diameter

which essentially is the steps we took though a bit differently.
