For this question, you need to calculate the area of the rectangle first and then subtract the 2 semicircles. 

 

Rectangle Area: 35*16 = 560

Semicircle's area: the formula is: \(\frac{2\pi r}{2}\), we already know the radius is 16/2=8 cm. So, the area is 8*2/2pi = 8pi. Since there are 2 semicircles, we multiply this by 2, and we get 16 pi for both of the circles.

 

So, the answer is \(560-16\pi\). In the question, it says to use 3.14 for pi, so 560-16(3.14) = \(\boxed{509.76}.\)
