Question

A steel wire when bent in the form of a
square encloses an area of 121 cm2. If
the same wire is bent in the form of a circle,
find the area of the circle.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

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
