Vertical Capsule

Vertical Capsule: a composite plane figure made of a rectangle 4.2 × 5.4 cm, joined with a semicircle of radius 2.1 cm, joined with a semicircle of radius 2.1 cm. It is a classic middle school geometry problem (“Arcs & Semicircles”). The net area is 36.52 cm² and the total perimeter is 23.99 cm.

Area of each basic shape before the Boolean composition.

How to find the area

Area formula: A = 2r·h + π·r²

Split the figure into basic shapes, find each area, add the joined parts and subtract the cut-outs: A = 22.68 + 6.93 + 6.93 = 36.52 cm².
