Question

A wire is bent to form a square enclosing an area of 484 cm2.Using the same wire, a circle is formed. Find the area of the circle.

Open in App
Solution

Area of the circle = 484 cm2
Area of the square = Side2
484=Side2222=Side2Side=22 cm
Perimeter of the square = 4×Side
Perimeter of the square = 4×22
= 88 cm
Length of the wire = 88 cm
Circumference of the circle = Length of the wire = 88 cm
Now, let the radius of the circle be r cm.
​Thus, we have:
2πr=882×227×r=88r=14

Area of the circle = πr2
=227×14×14=616 cm2

Thus, the area enclosed by the circle is 616 cm2.
