Calculate area of the white region inside circle.

Area of the two white triangles in top left and bottom right:


2 \cdot (1)/(2)(6)(6) = 36 ft^2

Area of the two white quarter circles in the bottom left and top right:


2 \cdot (1)/(4)\pi (6)^2 = 18\pi ft^2

Total area of unshaded white region inside circle:


(36 + 18\pi)ft^2

Area of entire circle including the white and shaded regions


\pi(6)^2 = 36\pi ft^2

Area of shaded region is area of entire circle - area of unshaded white region


36\pi - (36 + 18\pi) = (18\pi - 36) ft^2
