It can be observed that RQ is the diameter of the circle. Therefore, ∠RPQ will be 90º.

By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔPQR,

RP2 + PQ2 = RQ2

(7)2 + (24)2 = RQ2

Radius of circle, 

Since RQ is the diameter of the circle, it divides the circle in two equal parts.

Area of ΔPQR = 1/2 x PQ x PR

                        =1/2 x 24 x 7

                        = 84 cm

Area of shaded region = Area of semi-circle RPQOR − Area of ΔPQR
