Pretty unclear question... :)

Area of the rectangle =11*5=55

We have the diameter of the circular rug, 7, so r=3,5
Area of the circular rug=pir^2=12,25pi... pi~3, so 12.25*3=36,75

The area which is not covered by the rug is 55-36,75=18,25....

It is not the difference in the area of the two objects.

very unclear & insufficient data.
I think that one thing is missing i.e. the point of intersection of diagonals and centre of circle lie on the same point.
Is the "difference" word in the statement by mistake? As far i understand it's asking for the area that is not covering the rectengle. Right?

I think it's asking for the area of the circle hanging over the rectangle.

Sorry people for not getting back to earlier.
No, there is no mistake in the question. I have attached a drawing to explain the problem. The area that needs to be determined is the shaded part.
