Focus entirely on the semicircle up top.

A full circle has area of pi*r^2
r = radius

Half of which is 0.5*pi*r^2 and this is the area of a semicircle
area = 0.5*pi*r^2
area = 0.5*pi*12^2
area = 72pi

Then find the area of the right triangle that resides inside the upper semicircle.
area = 0.5*base*height
area = 0.5*(2*12)*9
area = 108

Subtract the two results to get the answer.
shadedArea = semicircleArea - triangleArea
shadedArea = 72pi - 108
The units for the area are "square centimeters".

To get an approximate version of the answer, replace pi with something like 3.14
