### Problem Description

In the diagram below of rectangle AFEB and a semicircle with diameter CD, AB = 5 inches, AB = BC = DE = FE, and CD = 6 inches. Find the area of the shaded region, to the nearest hundredth of a square inch.

![Diagram](diagram-placeholder)

### Analysis and Solution

To solve for the shaded area within the rectangle AFEB that includes a semicircle, we need to follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the area of the rectangle AFEB:**

   Given the dimensions:
   - Height of the rectangle (AB): 5 inches
   - Width of the rectangle (CD = FE): 6 inches
   
   Area of the rectangle \(A_{rectangle}\):
   \[ A_{rectangle} = \text{Height} \times \text{Width} = 5 \times 6 = 30 \, \text{square inches} \]

2. **Calculate the area of the semicircle with diameter CD:**

   To find the area of the semicircle, we first find the area of a full circle with diameter CD:
   - Diameter (CD): 6 inches
   - Radius (r): \( \frac{\text{Diameter}}{2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \, \text{inches} \)
   
   Area of the full circle:
   \[ A_{circle} = \pi r^2 = \pi (3^2) = 9\pi \, \text{square inches} \]
   
   Area of the semicircle \(A_{semicircle}\):
   \[ A_{semicircle} = \frac{A_{circle}}{2} = \frac{9\pi}{2} \approx \frac{28.27}{2} = 14.14 \, \text{square inches} \]

3. **Calculate the area of the shaded region (rectangle minus semicircle):**
   
   \[ A_{shaded} = A_{rectangle} - A_{semicircle} = 30 - 14.14 = 15.86 \, \text{square inches} \]

### Answer:
The area of the shaded region is approximately **15.86 square inches**.
