Answer #1
2cm in radius?
Answer #2
Total area = area of rectangle + area of circle
Area of rectangle:
area = width * height
area = 20 * 45
area = 900 cm^2

Area of circle:
area = pi * r^2
r = 10 (diameter / 2)
area = pi * 10^2
area = pi * 100
area ~ 314.159 cm^2

Total area:
Total area = 900 cm^2 + 314.159 cm^2
Total area = 1,214.159 cm^2

Answer #3
