We know that \angleRPQ  is 90o as ROQ is the diameter.

RQ can be found using Pythagoras theorem.

RP^2\ +\ PQ^2\ =\ QR^2                                             

7^2\ +\ 24^2\ =\ QR^2                                          

QR\ =\ \sqrt{625}\ =\ 25\ cm

Now, the area of the shaded region is given by: Area of semicircle   -   Area of \DeltaPQR

The area of semicircle =\ \frac{1}{2}\pi r^2

=\ \frac{1}{2}\pi \times \left ( \frac{25}{2} \right )^2

=\ 245.53\ cm^2 

And, the area of triangle PQR  =\ \frac{1}{2}\times 24\times 7\ =\ 84\ cm^2

Hence the area of the shaded region =\ 245.53\ -\ 84\ =\ 161.53\ cm^2
