From the given figure we can see that there is a rectangle with 3 x 4 squares
A semi-circle at the top with about 6 squares
A semi-circle at right with about 4 squares
Then the total number of squares = 12 + 6 + 4 = 22 squares
Since the area of each square is 1 x 1 = 1 cm^2
Then the area of the figure = 22 x 1 = 22 cm^2
The area of the figure is about 22 cm^2
