Question

which has a greater area, a circle with diameter 3.5m or a rectangle with sides 8.5m and 6.5m ? by how much is one area greater than other

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of rectangle is greater than circle by 45.625 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

diameter of the circle = 3.5 m

radius of the circle= 3.5/2 m

area of the circle= (22/7 )* (3.5/2)^2 m^2

= 9.625 m^2

Area of the rectangle= 8.5*6.5 = 55.25 m^ 2

Area of rectangle is greater than circle by

=(55.25-9.625) m^2

= 45.625 m^2
