A lawn is in the shape as shown. Find the area of the lawn.
151 sq. m
152 sq. m
153 sq. m
154 sq. m
Explanation:
The lawn is in the form of a rectangle with two semicircles on opposite ends of the width.
Area of the rectangle = 200m x 14m = 2800 sq. m
Radius of the semicircles = $\dfrac{14}{2}$ m = 7 m
Area of the two semicircles = $2\times\left(\dfrac{\pi R^{2}}{2}\right)$
=$ \dfrac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7 $
= 154 sq. m.
