In the given figure, ABCD is a rectangle of dimensions 21 cm
14 cm. A semicircle is drawn with BC as diameter. Find the area and the perimeter of the shaded region in the figure.

Required shaded area = area of rectangle - area of semicircle as diameter BC
Now,
Area of rectangle = length × breadth = AB × BC
Diameter of semicircle, BC = 14 cm
⇒ Radius of semicircle, ![]()
And area of semicircle of radius 'r' ![]()
Therefore,
Required area ![]()
![]()
= 371 cm2
