Assume that the area of the white portion of the semicircle $ADB$ is $x$ and the area of the white portion of semicircle $ACE$ is $y$.So,$\Pi \frac{AB^{2}}{8}-x=13$ and $\Pi \frac{AC^{2}}{8}-y=16$.Adding them,we get that
$\Pi \frac{AB^{2}}{8}-x+\Pi \frac{AC^{2}}{8}-y=29$
Or,$\Pi \frac{(AB^{2}+AC^{2})}{8}-(x+y)=29$
Or,$\Pi \frac{BC^{2}}{8}-(\Pi \frac{BC^{2}}{8}-\frac{AB\cdot AC}{2})=29$
Or,$\frac{AB\cdot AC}{2}=29$
$\therefore$ $\Delta ABC=29$
