The side of a square is 10 cm. Find the area between the inscribed and circumscribed circle of the square.
Hint: Use the information, for inscribed circle: radius =side of square2⇒r1=102=5cm and for circumscribed circle: diameter of the circle = diagonal of the square. Also, the area between these circles is nothing but the difference of their area.
Complete step-by-step answer:
For inscribed circle: radius=side of square2⇒r1=102=5cm.
We know that, area of the circle is given by πr2.
So, the area of the inscribed circle is πr12=π×52=25πcm2.
For circumscribed circle: diameter of the circle = diagonal of the square.
We can use Pythagoras theorem to find the length of the diagonal of the square.
(diagonal)2=102+102=2×100⇒diagonal=102–√cm.
Then, radius =diagonal2⇒r2=102–√2=52–√cm.
Now, again we can use the formula of area of the circle for circumscribed circle which is πr22=π×(52–√)2=50πcm2.
Now, the area between these circles is nothing but the difference of their area which is 50π−25π=25πcm2≈78.511cm2.
Answer:
side of the square is 10CM
thus diameter of the circle inscribed
in a square id 10CM
d=10CM
thus area of the circle is given by
A=r/4×d2
A=r/4×(10)2
A=r/4×100
A=25r CM2
