Question

9. A wire is circular in shape of radius 56 cm. If it is bent in the form of a square, find
the side of the square.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Since the wire bent in the form of a circle is bent to form a square.

Therefore, the perimeter of the square and the circumference of the circle will be equal.

the perimeter of the circle = perimeter of the square

2πr=4a

By substituing the value of the radius of the circle in the above equation, we have

2π56=4a

Further solving, we get

2*22/7*56=4a

2*22*8=4a

a=88

By writing the equation to find the value of a, we have

The side of the square is 88 cm.
