Answer:
shaded area = 113.64 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the shaded area, subtract the area of the circle from the area of the triangle.
Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height
⇒ area of triangle = 1/2 x 25 x 21.4 = 267.5 cm²
Area of a circle = (where r is the radius)
From inspection, we can see that the diameter of the circle = 14 cm
Therefore, as the diameter = 2r, then r = 14 ÷ 2 = 7 cm
⇒ area of circle = 3.14 x 7² = 153.86 cm²
Shaded area = area of triangle - area of circle
⇒ shaded area = 267.5 - 153.86 = 113.64 cm²
