Calculating shaded red area.


Let a be the diameter of the inscribed big half circle.


Therefore, 2a is the diameter of the bigger half circle or a is the radius of the bigger half circle.


a² = 6²+b²

b = √(a²-36) cm.


6 - c

a - √(a²-36)


Cross Multiply.


c = (6√(a²-36))/a cm.


Again.


a - √(a²-36)

√(a²-36) - d


Cross Multiply.


d = (a²-36)/a cm.


e = a+d

e = (2a²-36)/a cm.


Calculating a.


10² = ((2a²-36)/a)²+((6√(a²-36))/a)²

100 = ((4a⁴-144a²+1296)/a²)+((36a²-1296)/a²)

100a² = 4a⁴-108a²

4a⁴ = 208a²

4a² = 208

a² = 52

a = √(52)

a = 2√(13) cm.

a = 7.2111025509 cm.

Again, a is the radius of the bigger half circle or the diameter of the big inscribed half circle.


f = ½(a)

f = √(13) cm.

f is the radius of the inscribed big half circle.


Let g be the radius of the inscribed circle.


h = (2√(13)-g) cm.


j²+g² = (2√(13)-g)²

j² = 52-4√(13)g+g²-g²

j = √(52-4√(13)g) cm.


k = f+j

k = (√(13)+√(52-4√(13)g)) cm.


l = (√(13)+g) cm.


Calculating g.


(√(13)+g)² = (√(13)+√(52-4√(13)g))²+g²

13+2√(13)g+g² = 13+2√(13)*√(52-4√(13)g)+52-4√(13)g+g²

2√(13)g = 2√(13)*√(52-4√(13)g)+52-4√(13)g

2√(13)g = 2√(13(52-4√(13)g)+52-4√(13)g

√(13)g = √(13(52-4√(13)g)+26-2√(13)g

3√(13)g-26 = √(13(52-4√(13)g)

(3√(13)g-26)² = 13(52-4√(13)g)

117g²-156√(13)g+676 = 676-52√(3)g

117g² = 156√(13)g-52√(3)g

117g² = 104√(13)g

9g = 8√(13)

g = ⅑(8√(13)) cm.

g = 3.2049344671 cm.

Again, g is the radius of the inscribed circle.


Therefore, shaded red area is;


Half area circle with radius 2√(13) cm - Half area circle with radius √(13) cm - Area circle with radius ⅑(8√(13)) cm.


= ½*π(2√(13))²-½*π(√(13))²-π(⅑(8√(13)))²

= 26π-½(13π)-(832π/81)

= (4212π-1053π-1664π)/162

= 1495π/162 cm²

= 28.9918581304 cm²

≈ 29 cm²
