Question

A copper wire of length 44 cm is to be bent into a square and a circle. Which will have a larger area?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Circle

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of the circle=2πr=44cm

⇒2×

22/7

×r=44

⇒

rx44/7=44

⇒r=44x7/44

=7cm

Now, Area of the circle=πr^2

22/7×7×7=154cm^2

Now the wire is converted into square,

Then perimeter of square=44cm

⇒4× side=44

⇒ side=11cm

Now, area of square=side×side=11×11=121cm^2

Therefore area of circle is greater
