We are given the expression of the equation of a circle that is x2 + y2 + 14x + 2y + 14 = 0. Using ocmpleting the squares:
x2 + y2 + 14x + 2y + 14 = 0(x+7)^2 + (y+1) ^2 = -14 + 49 + 1(x+7)^2 + (y+1) ^2 = 36 center thus is at (-7,-1) and the radius is equal ot square root of 36 equal to 6.
Area of big rectangle =8x7=56cm²
area of small rectangle =5x4=20cm²
hence area of shaded region=56-20=36cm²
