Mr. Mayfeld is designing a sign for his ice cream shop. The sign will be a shape consisting of a semicircle and an isosceles triangle that he will paint to look like a cone with a scoop of ice cream. He will cut the figure out of a rectangular piece of plywood measuring 2 ft by 4 ft, as shown. The shaded regions will be cut away. If BE = 3BG and $\overline{AB}$ is parallel to $\overline{CE}$ , what is the total area of the resulting figure? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest tenth.
