Answer:

25.12 cm²

Explanation:

The area of a circle is given by the formula ...

A = πr²

where r is the radius. Here, the diameter is given as 8 cm, so the radius will be half that, or 4 cm. The area is then ...

A = 3.14(4 cm)² = 50.24 cm²

The green shaded part is 1/2 a circle, so is half this area:

shaded area = 25.12 cm²
