Answer:
113.4325 m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The diameter is 17m
d =2r
17 = 2r
Divide by 2
17/2 = 2r/2
8.5 =r
A semicircle is 1/2 of a circle, so 1/2 of the area of a circle is the area of a semicircle
A circle = pi r^2
1/2 A circle = 1/2 pi r^2
= 1/2 (3.14) (8.5)^2
= .5 * 3.14 * 72.25
=113.4325 m^2
