Two semicircles of radius 7 cm are attached to opposite ends of a rectangle of 14 cm × 7 cm. What is the total area of the figure?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Area of the rectangle = 14 × 7 = 98 cm²
Total area of the two semicircles = Area of 1 full circle
= (22/7) × 7 × 7
= 154 cm²
Therefore, the total area of the figure = 98 + 154
= 252 cm²
