Solution

Area of shaded portion = Area of trapezium – Area of rectangle – Area of circle

Area of trapezium = `1/2` × [Sum of parallel sides] × Height

= `1/2 xx (120 + 160) xx 100`

= `1/2 xx 280 xx 100`

= `28000/2`

= 14000 cm2

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

= 40 × 20

= 800 cm2

Area of circle = πr2

= `22/7 xx 7 xx 7`

= 154 cm2

∴ Area of shaded portion = 14000 – 800 – 154 = 13046 cm2
