A wire when bent in the form of square, encloses an area of $146.41\ cm^2$. If this wire is straighten and then bent to form a circle, what will be the area of the circle so formed?


Given: A wire when bent in the form of square, encloses an area of $146.41\ cm^2$. If this wire is straighten and then bent to form a circle.

To do: To find the area of the circle.

Solution:

Area of square $=Side^2$

$Side^2=146.1\ cm^2$

$Side=12.1\ cm$

Perimeter$=4\times12.1=48.4$

Perimeter of circle$=2\times\pi\times r=48.4$

$\Rightarrow 2\times( \frac{22}{7})\times r=48.4$

$\Rightarrow r=\frac{48.4\times7}{44}$

$\Rightarrow r=7.7\ cm$

Area$=\pi r^2 =\frac{22}{7}\times( 7.7)^2 $

$=22\times7.7\times1.1$

$= 186.34\ cm^2$
