  • A8400
  • B13944
  • C19488
  • D11172

Step-by-Step Solution

The rectangle gives sq cm. The semicircle spans the 84 cm width, so its radius is 42 cm and its area = sq cm. Total = 8400 + 2772 = 11172 sq cm. The trap 13944 adds a whole circle instead of a half; 19488 takes the width 84 cm as the radius; 8400 counts only the rectangular pane.
Answer: D) 11172
