Solution

AB = 14 + 14 + 14 + 7

= 49 cm

BC = 14 cm

AB = 49 cm

Area of ABCD = 49 × 14 cm2

Diameter of circle = 14 cm

Radius = `"Diameter"/2 = 7 cm`

Area of the circle = πr2

Area of the circle = `22/7xx7^2`

= `22/7xx49`

= `1078/7`

= 154 cm2

Area of 3 circles = 3 × 154 cm2 

= 462 cm2

Area of the semicircle = `1/2` πr2

= `1/2xx22/7xx7^2`

= `22/14xx49`

= `1078/14`

= 77 cm2

⇒ Area of shaded portion = 686 – (462 + 77) cm2

= 686 – 539 cm2

= 147 cm2

Hence, the area of the shaded portion is 147 cm2.
