A blacksmith bent a steel wire, in the form of a square, encloses an area of 484 sq. cm. The same wire he bent in the form of a circle. Find the area of circle (In sq.cm).1. 5202. 5443. 6604. 616

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 616

Given:

Area of square = 484 sq. cm

Square wire is converted into circle

Formula used:

Perimeter of circle = 2π r, where r = radius of circle

Area of circle = π r2

Perimeter of square = 4a, where a = side of the square

Concept used:

When square shape bent into circle, perimeter of square becomes equal to perimeter of circle

Area of square = a2

∴ a = √area = √484 = 22 cm

∴ perimeter of square = 4a = 4 × 22 = 88 cm

Now, perimeter of circle = perimeter of square = 88 cm

⇒ 2π r = 88

∴ r = 88 / 2π = 88 × 7 / 22 × 1 / 2 = 14 cm

∴ Area of circle = π r2 = 22 / 7 × 142 = 22 / 7 × 196 = 616 sq.cm

Therefore, area of circle = 616 sq.cm
