Correct Answer: Option E
Explanation

\(\pi\) = \(\frac{22}{7}\), Diameter D = 42m

Area of a circle = \(\frac{\pi D^2}{4}\) when a diameter is given

area of a semicircle \(\frac{\pi D^2}{4}\) x \(\frac{1}{2}\)

= \(\frac{22}{7}\) x \(\frac{4262}{4}\) x \(\frac{1}{2}\)

= \(\frac{11}{7} \times 441\)

= 693m\(^{2}\)
