Correct Answer

23.56

Explanation

complex shape 1 shaded

First you need to visualize the shape and recognize it in basic shapes that have rules to find the areas

This is a shape of 3 halves of circles

The first shape, let's call it shape A has a diameter of 3 cm and its radius is 1.5

The second shape, let's call it shape has a diameter of 7 cm and its radius is 3.5

The third shape, let's call it shape has a diameter of 10 cm, which is the sum of 3 + 7 and its radius is 5

So what you need to do is to find the area of shapes using the following equations:

Area of Shape A = (π * 1.52) / 2   ---> (1)  (shaded in red)

Area of Shape B = (π * 3.52) / 2   ---> (2) 

Area of Shape C = (π * 52) / 2 ---> (3)

Subtract result of equation (2) from result in equation (3) to get the area shaded in grey

Then add that result to the area of shape and you get the result.

So, let's solve it

equation (1) = 3.5325 cm2

equation (2) = 19.2325 cm2

equation (3) =  39.25 cm2

Shape Area = equation (3) - equation (2) + equation (1) = 39.25 - 19.2325 + 3.5325 = 23.56

Note: You may get some approximations while you calculate, which may differ a little pit from the answer, but should be just in a fraction of a decimal
