Norman Window

Norman Window: a composite plane figure made of a rectangle 6 × 5.2 cm, joined with a semicircle of radius 3 cm. It is a classic middle school geometry problem (“Arcs & Semicircles”). The net area is 45.33 cm² and the total perimeter is 25.82 cm.

Area of each basic shape before the Boolean composition.

How to find the area

Area formula: A = b·h + ½·π·(b/2)² · 2p = b + 2h + π·(b/2)

Split the figure into basic shapes, find each area, add the joined parts and subtract the cut-outs: A = 31.2 + 14.14 = 45.33 cm².
