1. **State the problem:** Calculate the area of one fence slat composed of a rectangle and a semi-circle on top.
2. **Given:**
- Width of rectangle = 20 cm
- Height of rectangle = 200 cm (2 meters converted to cm)
- Diameter of semi-circle = 20 cm, so radius $r = \frac{20}{2} = 10$ cm
- Use $\pi = 3.14$
3. **Formula for area:**
- Area of rectangle = width $\times$ height
- Area of semi-circle = $\frac{1}{2} \pi r^2$
4. **Calculate each area:**
- Rectangle area = $20 \times 200 = 4000$ cm$^2$
- Semi-circle area = $\frac{1}{2} \times 3.14 \times 10^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 3.14 \times 100 = 157$ cm$^2$
5. **Total area of one slat:**
$$\text{Area} = 4000 + 157 = 4157 \text{ cm}^2$$
6. **Answer:** The area of one slat is $4157$ cm$^2$.
