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. |
