Given :
Diameter of the circle 'd' = 20 cm
To find :
Area of the largest rectangle formed by the two perpendicular diameters.
Solution :
- The largest rectangle within the circle formed from the perpendicular diameters will be a square.
- The diagonals of this square will be the diameters of the circle.
- We have diameter 'd' = 20 cm
- If we divide the square into two triangles, we get two right isosceles triangles each having a hypotenuse = 20 cm
In an isosceles triangle;
When hypotenuse = 20 cm,
The length of the other two sides
= (20) / cm = 20cm
Isosceles side of the triangle = side of the square = 20cm
Area of the square = (side)² = (20 cm)² = 400 cm²
Thus the area of the largest rectangle formed is 400 cm²
