Question 13 Marks
Shazli took a wire of length $44\ cm$ and bent int\o the shape of a circle. Find the radius of that circle. Also, find the area. Of the same wire is bent into the shape of a square, what will be the length of each of its side? Which figure encloses more area, the circle or the square$?\ ($Take $\pi= \frac{22}{7})$
Answer
View full question & answer→Length of the wire $= 44 \ cm$
Let the radius of the circle be $r \ cm.$
Then, circumference of the circle $= 2 \pi r \ cm$
According to the question,
$2 \pi r = 44$
$\therefore 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r = 44$
$ \therefore r = \frac{44 \times 7}{2 \times 22} $
$ \therefore r = 7 \ cm$
Hence, the radius of that circle is $7 \ cm.$
Area of the circle $= \pi r^2 $
$= \frac{22}{7} (7)^2=154 \mathrm{~\ cm}^2$
Length of each side of the square
$= \frac{\text { Perimeter of square }}{4} $
$= \frac{\text { Length of the wire }}{4} $
$= \frac{44}{4} \ cm = 11 \ cm$
$\therefore$ Area of the square $=$ side $\times$ side
$= 11 \times 11 = 121 \mathrm{~\ cm}^2 .$
Hence, the circle encloses more area i.e $154 \mathrm{~\ cm}^2$
Let the radius of the circle be $r \ cm.$
Then, circumference of the circle $= 2 \pi r \ cm$
According to the question,
$2 \pi r = 44$
$\therefore 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r = 44$
$ \therefore r = \frac{44 \times 7}{2 \times 22} $
$ \therefore r = 7 \ cm$
Hence, the radius of that circle is $7 \ cm.$
Area of the circle $= \pi r^2 $
$= \frac{22}{7} (7)^2=154 \mathrm{~\ cm}^2$
Length of each side of the square
$= \frac{\text { Perimeter of square }}{4} $
$= \frac{\text { Length of the wire }}{4} $
$= \frac{44}{4} \ cm = 11 \ cm$
$\therefore$ Area of the square $=$ side $\times$ side
$= 11 \times 11 = 121 \mathrm{~\ cm}^2 .$
Hence, the circle encloses more area i.e $154 \mathrm{~\ cm}^2$
