To find the area of the shaded region in this case, I'm assuming you are referring to the area of a circle based on the dimensions provided (6 cm and 10 cm). Let's distinguish between a circle and a rectangle based on the given dimensions.
Since you have provided two measurements, let’s interpret them as the radius and height. I'll calculate the area of a circle with a radius of approximately 6 cm using the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \pi r^2
\]
Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \) and \( r = 6 \) cm:
\[
\text{Area} = 3.14 \times (6)^2 = 3.14 \times 36 = 113.04 \text{ cm}^2
\]
If we are considering a rectangle with dimensions 6 cm and 10 cm:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width} = 10 \text{ cm} \times 6 \text{ cm} = 60 \text{ cm}^2
\]
Since neither calculation directly matches the given answer options, let's consider other interpretations.
If you’re looking for the area of a circle with a diameter of 10 cm (or a radius of 5 cm, which might correlate with the 6 and 10 cm numbers):
\[
\text{Area} = 3.14 \times (5)^2 = 3.14 \times 25 = 78.5 \text{ cm}^2
\]
Now, this matches one of your options.
Thus, the area of the shaded region could be **78.5 cm²** if it's the area of a circle with radius 5 cm derived from the 10 cm diameter. Based on the options and the provided dimensions, **78.5 cm²** is the answer we should select.
