5. A wire is bent in the form of a square of area 1936 cm2. If the same wire is bent to form a
circle, find the radius of the circle and the area enclosed.
Answers
→ Radius of the circle = 28 cm .
→ Area enclosed by the wire = 2464 cm² .
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the length of the wire.
To do that, we should try to figure out the length of 1 side of the square
∵ Area of a square = ( side )² .
⇒ 1936 cm² = side² .
⇒ side = √( 1936 cm² ) .
∴ side = 44 cm .
Therefore one side of the square would be 44 cm .
Perimeter of the square would be equal to the full length of the wire.
∵ Perimeter of a square = 4 × side .
= 4 × 44 .
= 176 cm .
If we make a circle from this wire, the length of the wire would then be the Circumference of the Circle .
∵ Circumference of a Circle = 2πr .
⇒ 176 = 2 × 22/7 ×r .
.°. Radius = 28cm
And,
∵ Area enclose by wire = πr² .
= 22/7 × 28 × 28 .
= 2464 cm² .
Hence, it is solved .
Answer:
Area of square =1936cm^2
(Side)^2 =1936cm^2
(Side)=44cm
Perimeter of square=4* side
4*44
176cm
Circumference of circle=perimeter of square
2*22/7*r=176
r=28cm
Area enclosed by circle=22/7*28*28
=2464cm^2
