Answer:
The area of the shape can be divided into the area of the rectangle, and the area of the semi-circle.
The area of the rectangle can be found by [tex]11*4=44[/tex]
The area of a semi-circle can be found with the formula [tex]\frac{1}{2} \pi r^2[/tex] where r is the radius.
Since we know the diameter of the semi-circle is 4,
the radius will be 4 ÷ 2 = 2.
Therefore, the area of the semi-circle is [tex]\frac{1}{2}\pi 2^2=\frac{1}{2}\pi*4=2\pi[/tex]
Therefore, the area of the shape is [tex]44+2\pi[/tex] or [tex]50.283cm^2[/tex] (3 decimal places)
