Before a cricket match, the officials wanted to check the distance of the boundary from the centre of the pitch, given that the ground is circular in shape. The entire boundary length is 628 m. Also find its area in m2 . Take π=3.14. [3 MARKS]
Formula: 1 Mark
Radius: 1 Mark
Area: 1 Mark
Given that,
The entire length of the boundary is 628 m.
The perimeter of a cricket of radius r meters is 2×π×r meters
Given perimeter of the ground = 628 m
r = 628÷(2×π) =100 m
The distance of the boundary from the centre of the pitch is 100 m.
The area of a circle is π×(r)2
Area of the ground = π×(100)2
= 31400 m2
The area of the ground is 31400 m2.
