Solution

Area of the shaded region

= Area of the semi-circle with diameter of 9 cm − Areas of two semi-circles with diameter 3 cm − Area of the circle with diameter 4.5 cm + Area of semi-circle with diameter 3 cm

= Area of the semi-circle with radius of 4.5 cm − 2 × Area of semi-circle with radius 1.5 cm − Area of the circle with radius 2.25 cm + Area of semi-circle with radius 1.5 cm

= $3.9375 \times \frac{22}{7}$

= 12.375 cm²

Thus, the area of the shaded region is 12.375 cm².
