m2

Give your answer to 1 decimal place.

Area of circle = πr²

Use π = 3.14

You can use a calculator for this question.

7.065

A semi circular shape is referring to half a circle.

We have the formula for the area of a circle so plug in the #.

r which is radius is equal to half the diameter and for pi we use 3.14

(3.14) (1.5) ^2

Using a calc we get 7.065

since it says one decimal place we round it to 7.1 since the next digit 6 is greater than 5
