The total area of the shaded region equals the area of the small square (9) plus the area between the large square and medium square.

Since the area of the large square is 49 and the area of the medium square is 25 , then the area of the region between these squares is $49-25=24$.

Therefore, the total area of the shaded region is $9+24=33$.
