Solution

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.
