The width of the square is 7 cm. This is also the diameter of the circle.

To find the area of the square, you do 7², which is 49 cm².

To find the area of a circle, you do πr².

The radius is half the diameter, so it's 7 ÷ 2, which is 3.5 cm.

π3.5² ≈ 38.4845100065 cm².

The shaded region is the area of the square minus the area of the circle.

49 - 38.4845100065 = 10.5154899935, but because you're using 3.14 to approximate pi, the closest answer is 10.54 cm².

The answer is 10.54 cm².
