Question

Find the length of the wire if the area of ​​the square and the circle are equal

Answer 1

Question

Shazli took a wire of length 44cm and bent it into the shape of a circle. Find the radius of that circle. Also find its area. If the same wire is bent into the shape of a square, what will be the length of each of its sides? Which figure encloses more area, the circle or the square? (Take π=

7

22

Given, Total length of the wire=44cm

∴ The circumference of the circle=2πr=44cm

⇒2×

7

22

×r=44

⇒r=

2×22

44×7

=7cm

Now, Area of the circle=πr

2

=

7

22

×7×7=154cm

2

Now the wire is converted into square,

Then perimeter of square=44cm

⇒4× side=44

⇒ side=

4

44

=11cm

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

Therefore, on comparing the area of circle is greater than that of square, so the circle enclosed more area.
