$A=\pi r^2$
The given quadrant is quarter of a circle.
So, the area of the given quadrant will be
$=\frac{1}{4} \pi r^2$
Putting the values, we'll get
$\Rightarrow \text { Area }=\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{22}{7} \times(3.5)^2$
$\Rightarrow \text { Area }=\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{35}{10} \times \frac{35}{10}$
$\Rightarrow \text { Area }=9.625 \ cm^2 \ldots \ldots(i)$
Now, the area of the triangle $\text{ODB}$ will be given by
$=\frac{1}{2} \times \text { base } \times \text { height }=\frac{1}{2} \times 3.5 \times 2$
$=3.5 \ cm^2 \ldots \ldots(ii) \text {. }$
Subtracting equation $(ii)$ from $(i)$ to find the area of the shaded region, we'll get
$=9.625-3.5=6.125 \ cm^2$
Hence, the area of the shaded region is $6.125 \ cm^2$
