Answer:

100π - 192 or 122.159....

Explanation:

In order to find the diameter we much first split the rectangle diagonally and find the hypotenuse using Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

16^2 + 12^2 = c^2

400 = c^2

c = 20

If the diameter of the rectangle is 20, the radius is just half of that which is 10. Then you just need to a do a basic calculation for area of a circle and then subtract out the area of the rectangle.

Area of circle = πr^2 = π(10^2) = 100π (keeping it in exact value since π is infinite)

Area of rectangle = lw = (16)(12) = 192

Area of shaded area = 100π - 192 (exact) = 122.159 (estimate)
