Question

51.
A steel wire when bent in the form of a square encloses an area of 146.41 cm². If the
same wire is bent in the form of a circle, find the area of the circle.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Side of the square =  

area

​  

=  

121

​  

=11 cm

Perimeter of the square = 4×side=44 cm

Therefore, length of the wire = 44 cm

We know,

Circumference of the circle = Length of the wire

Therefore, Circumference of the circle = 44 cm

Let the radius of the circle be r cm.

Then, 2πr=44

​  

×r=44

r=7 cm

Therefore, area of the circle = πr
