To begin, we need to find the radius of the circle. The circumference of a circle is given as follows:

$\small C = 2\pi r$ ,

where is the radius.

Then, a circle with circumference $6\pi$ will have the following radius:

$6\pi = 2\pi r$

$\small $\frac{6\pi}{2\pi}$=\frac{2\pi r}{2\pi}$$

$\small 3=r$

Using the radius, we can now solve for the area:

$\small A=\pi $r^2$$

In this case it is,

The rectangle in the above figure has length 20 and height 10. What is the area of the orange region?

Tap to see back →

The orange region is a composite of two figures:

One is a rectangle measuring 20 by 10, which, subsequently, has area

$20 \cdot 10 = 200$ .

The other is a semicircle with diameter 10, and, subsequently, radius 5. Its area is

$$\frac{1}{2}$ \pi \cdot $5^{2}$ = $\frac{25}{2}$ \pi$ .

Add the areas:

$A = 200 + $\frac{25}{2}$ \pi$
