Find the area of the below figure, in square cm, correct to one place of decimal. (Take $ \pi=22 / 7 $ )"


To do: 

We have to find the area of the given figure, in square cm, correct to one place of decimal.

Solution:

Join $AD$

$ABCD$ is a square.

Length of each side of the square $= 10\ cm$
Area of the square $=(10)^2 = 100\ cm^2$

Radius of the semi-circle $=\frac{10}{2}=5\ cm$
Area of the semi-circle $=\frac{1}{2} \pi r^{2}$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 5 \times 5$

$=\frac{275}{7}$

$=39.28 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$

Therefore,

Total area of the figure $=100-24+39.28$

$=76+39.28$

$=115.28 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$

$=115.3 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$

The area of the given figure is $115.3\ cm^2$.
