To find the area of the playing field, we need to calculate the area of the rectangle and the area of the semicircle, and then add the two areas together.
Area of rectangle = 8 meters x 8 meters = 64 square meters
Area of semicircle = 1/2 * pi * r^2 = 1/2 * 3.14 * 4^2 = 1/2 * 3.14 * 16 = 25.12 square meters
Total area = 64 square meters + 25.12 square meters = 89.12 square meters
Therefore, the area of the playing field is approximately 89 square meters.

Apologies for the oversight. Let me correct and provide the right calculation:
The playing field consists of a rectangle and a semicircle attached to it.
Area of the rectangle = 8 meters x 8 meters = 64 square meters
Area of the semicircle = 1/2 * pi * r^2 (where r = radius of the semicircle = 4 meters)
Area of the semicircle = 1/2 * 3.14 * 4^2 = 1/2 * 3.14 * 16 = 25.12 square meters
Total area = Area of rectangle + Area of semicircle = 64 square meters + 25.12 square meters = 89.12 square meters
Therefore, the correct area of the playing field is approximately 89.12 square meters.
Thank you for pointing that out.
