Find the area of the flower bed (with semi-circular ends) as shown in the figure:
Step 1: Solve for area of the rectangle
Given,
Area of rectangle length breadth
Step 2: Solve for area of semthe the i-circle
Diameter of the semi-circle Breadth of the rectangle =
Radius of the semi-circle
Area of the semi-circle
Since there are two semi-circles in the flower bed,
Area of two semi-circles .
Step 3: Solve for area of the flower bed
Area of the flower bed Area of the rectangular portion Area of the two semi-circles.
Hence, the area of the flower bed is
