The diagram below shows a piece of baby beanie when flattened completely. The shaded part is made up of a trapezium and a rectangle, and the unshaded parts are two identical semicircles each with diameter \(3.5\) cm.
Find the

Source consistency note: the equal semicircle diameters make the trapezium legs both 3.5 cm. With bases 9 cm and 3.5 cm and height 2 cm, those legs would instead be \(\sqrt{2^2+2.75^2}\approx3.40\text{ cm}\). The intended formula results below use the printed component dimensions; the exact measurements conflict.
