From the picture provided in this question, we can draw a straight line horizontally and the diagram would be divided into two different shapes, which are,

An isosceles trapezoid and

A quarter circle

The dimensions and area would now be;


\begin{gathered} \text{Isosceles Trapezoid:} \\ A=(1)/(2)(B_1+B_2)h \\ B_1=4,B_2=9,h=2 \\ A=(1)/(2)(4+9)*2 \\ A=(1)/(2)(13)*2 \\ A=13\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}

The area of the quarter circle also would now be;


\begin{gathered} A=\pi* r^2 \\ \text{For a quarter circle, the area would be times }(1)/(4) \\ A=(1)/(4)(\pi* r^2) \\ \text{Where radius=}4\operatorname{cm} \\ A=(1)/(4)(3.14*4^2) \\ A=(1)/(4)(3.14*16) \\ A=3.14*4 \\ A=12.56\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}

The areaof the entire shape therefore is the addition of the area of the trapezoid and that of the quarter circle.

Area = 13 cm + 12.56 cm

Area = 25.56 square centimeters
