A garden is shaped like a rectangle with a semi-circle attached to one of its longer sides. The rectangle is 10 feet long and 6 feet wide. What is the approximate total area of the garden? (Use π ≈ 3.14)
✓ Correct Answer: Option B
Area of rectangle = 10 × 6 = 60 sq ft. The semi-circle's diameter is 6 ft, so its radius is 3 ft. Area of semi-circle = (1/2)πr² = (1/2) × 3.14 × 3² = (1/2) × 3.14 × 9 ≈ 14.13 sq ft. Total area = 60 + 14.13 = 74.13 sq ft.
