    area of a circle = πr²

    area of a semi circle = πr²/2

    r = ½ diameter = 7.5

    area of semi circle of which the diameter is 15

    = π(7.5)²/2

    = approximately 88.357 square units

    that's it! ;)

    Area of circle= radius squared times π

    = 7.5² • π

    = 56.25 π

    = 176.71458...

    Then divide by 2 because it's only a semicircle

    = 88.357...

    = 88.4 to three sig figs
