Area of the shaded region is given by =   Area of the square - Area of two semicircles.

Area of square is    :    =\ 14^2\ =\ 196\ cm^2

And the area of the semicircle is:-     

                                                        =\ \frac{1}{2}\pi r^2

                                                       =\ \frac{1}{2}\pi \times 7^2

                                                       =\ 77\ cm^2

Hence the area of the shaded region is given by :    =\ 196 - 2(77) = 42\ cm^2.
