Solution

Radius of the the quadrant ABC of circle = 14 cm
AB = AC = 14 cm
BC is diameter of thesemicircle.
ABC is a right angled triangle.
By Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC,
BC2=AB2+AC2
BC2=142+142
BC=142 cm
Radius of semicircle =1422cm=72 cm
Area of ΔABC=12×14×14=98 cm2
Area of quadrant =14×227×14×14=154 cm2
Area of the semicircle =12×227×72×72=154cm2
Area of the shaded region = Area of the semicircle + Area of ΔABC - Area of quadrant
=154+98154 cm2=98 cm2
