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 = × πr2
= × 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.
