Open in App
Solution

Solution -: Since it is rolled along its length .It means circumference of the circle = 44 cm

Let the radius be r

we know that the length of the sheet = circumference of the circle = 44 cms

we know that circumference of circle = 2*pi*r

2*pi*r= 44 , but pi= 22/7
2 *22/7* r= 44
44/7*r= 44
We got r= 7 cms
Radius = 7 cms. Answer
