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. Find the area of the circle.

Answer»

Let the side length of square is a cm.

Given that the area of square is 121 cm2.

Therefore, a2 = 121

⇒ a = 11 cm.

Since, the same wire is bent in the form of circle.

∴ The circumference of the circle is equal to the perimeter of the square.

Hence, 2\(\pi r\) = 4a = 4× 11 = 44 cm.

⇒ r = \(\frac{44}{2\pi}=\frac{44}{2\times{\frac{22}{7}}}\) = 7cm.

Hence, the radius of the circle is r = 7cm.

Now, the area of the circle = \(\pi r\)2 = \(\frac{22}{7}\times7^2\) = 22 × 7 = 154 cm2.

Hence, the area of the circle is 154 cm2.
