Answer»

Given :-

A steel WIRE when bent in the FORM of a square encloses an area of 121 cm²

The same wire is bent in the form of a circle.

To FIND :-

The area of the circle.

Solution :-

We know that,

  • a = Area
  • r = Radius
  • d = Diameter

Given that,

Area of the square (a) = 121 cm²

By the formula,

\underline{\boxed{\sf Area \ of \ circle= \pi r^{2}}}

\underline{\boxed{\sf Area \ of \ square=2 \times Side}}

Substituting them,

121 cm² = a²

So, a = 11 cm

Thus,

Each side of the square = 11 cm

Now,

\underline{\boxed{\sf Perimeter \ of \ square = 4a }}

By substituting,

\sf = 4 \times 11 = 44 \ cm

According to the question,

Perimeter of the square = Circumference of the circle

We know,

\underline{\boxed{\sf Circumference \ of \ circle=2 \pi r}}

Now, further

\sf 4a = 2 \pi r

\sf 44=2\dfrac{22}{7} r

\sf r=7 \ cm

Next,

\underline{\boxed{\sf Area \ of \ circle=\pi r^{2}}}

Substituting their values,

\sf =\dfrac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7

\sf =<klux>154</klux> \ cm^{2}

Therefore, the area of the circle is 154 cm²
