First of all find the total area and then subtract the area of circle from the area of rectangle, It will be easier that way...


\red{ \rule{35pt}{2pt}} \orange{ \rule{35pt}{2pt}} \color{yellow}{ \rule{35pt} {2pt}} \green{ \rule{35pt} {2pt}} \blue{ \rule{35pt} {2pt}} \purple{ \rule{35pt} {2pt}}

Finding area of rectangle:


\qquad \bf \implies \: area = length * breadth

  • Length = 3 cm
  • Breadth = 4 cm


\qquad \tt \blue\looparrowright \purple{area = 3 * 4}


\qquad \tt \blue\looparrowright \purple{area = 12 \: {cm}^(2) }

Finding area of circle:


\qquad \bf \implies \: area = \pi {r}^(2)

  • π = 22/7
  • r = 1


\qquad \tt \red\looparrowright \green{area = (22)/(7) * {1}^(2) }


\qquad \tt \red\looparrowright \green{area = (22)/(7) * 1}


\qquad \tt \red\looparrowright \green{area = 3.14 \: {cm}^(2) }

Find the area of shaded region now,


\qquad \bf \implies \: area =area \: of \: rectangle - area \: of \: circle

  • Area of rectangle = 12 cm²
  • Area of circle = 3.14 cm²


\qquad \tt \pink\looparrowright \orange{area = 12 - 3.14 }


\qquad \tt \pink\looparrowright \orange{area = 8.86}

Thus, The area of the shaded region is 8.86 cm²...~
