Hint: The given geometric figure deals with the shapes called circle and square. We will use the area formulas of these shapes to find the area of the required portion. More precisely we will add the area of the circles and square and then subtract the part that occurred twice.
Formula used:
1) The area of a square of side a is a2
2) The area of a circle of radius r is πr2 , where π=3.141

Complete step-by-step answer:
The given figure has a square of side 28 cm.
Let 2r=28 --(1)
Let the radius of the circle with Centre O and O be r1 and r2 respectively.
According to the question the radius of the two circles is half of the side of the square.
So, r1=r2=12×2r=r

Let As represent area of square, AO represent area of the circle with Centre O and AO1 represent area of the circle with Centre O1
Now from the formulas of area of these geometric shapes we have:
 As=(2r)2
 AO=πr2
AO1=πr2
Adding all the above we get total area A as:
 A=(2r)2+πr2+πr2
The area we have calculated adds the area common between the two circles and square.
From the figure we can see that the extra added area is 14 th the area of the circles.
So we have to subtract it from the generated area in order to find the required area.
Now, the required area becomes
 A=(2r)2+πr2+πr2πr24πr24
 A=4r2+2πr22×πr24
 A=(4+2π)r2πr22
 A=(4+2ππ2)r2
 A=(8+4ππ2)r2
 A=8+3π2×r2
From (1) we have 2r=28r=14 so the above equation becomes:
 A=8+3×3.142×(14)2
 A=8+9.422×196
 A=17.42×98=1707.16 cm2
So, the correct answer is “ 1707.16 cm2”.

Note: The area common between the circle two circles and the square will give an area greater than the area of the colored region. To avoid this we have to subtract the repeated area while calculating the required shaded area. Don’t forget to put the unit of the area after calculating it, in our case it is cm2
