Answer

Given,

Radius of circle = 3 cm.

From figure,

Length of rectangle = Diameter of first circle + Diameter of second circle + Radius of third circle

= 6 + 6 + 3

= 15 cm.

Breadth of rectangle = Diameter of a circle = 6 cm.

Area of rectangle = length × bredath

= 15 × 6 = 90 cm2.

Area of 2 full circles = 2 × πr2

= 2 × 3.14 × 32

= 6.28 × 9

= 56.52 cm2.

Area of 1 semicircle = 12\dfrac{1}{2} × πr2

= 12\dfrac{1}{2} × 3.14 × 9 = 14.13 cm2.

From figure,

Area of unshaded portion = Area of rectangle - Area of 2 full circle - Area of semicircle

= 90 - 56.52 - 14.

= 90 - 70.65

= 19.35 cm2.

Hence area of unshaded region = 19.35 cm2.
