Drag the correct expression into each placeholder.

rFull circle:A = πr²Semicircle:A = ½πr²Composite figure total (Example 4 structure):A = A(triangle) + A(smaller semicircle) + A(larger semicircle)

Full circle area: \(A = \pi\) × (1)

Semicircle area: \(A = \) (2) \(\times \pi r^2\)

In the 6–8–10 composite figure:
Triangle area = ½ × 6 × 8 = (3) in²
Smaller semicircle (\(r=4\)) area = (4) \(\pi\) in²
Larger semicircle (\(r=5\)) area = (5) \(\pi\) in²

Correct Answer

(1) r²
(2) ½
(3) 24
(4) 8
(5) 12.5

Explanation

Full circle: \(A = \pi r^2\) — square the radius, then multiply by \(\pi\).

Semicircle: \(A = \frac{1}{2}\pi r^2\) — half of the full circle area.

Components of the 6–8–10 composite:

  • Triangle: \(\frac{1}{2}(6)(8) = 24\) in²
  • Smaller semicircle (\(r=4\)): \(\frac{1}{2}\pi(4)^2 = \frac{1}{2}\pi(16) = 8\pi\) in²
  • Larger semicircle (\(r=5\)): \(\frac{1}{2}\pi(5)^2 = \frac{1}{2}\pi(25) = 12.5\pi\) in²
  • Total: \(24 + 8\pi + 12.5\pi \approx 88.40\) in²
