A wire is looped in the form of a circle of diameter 70 cm. It is bent again into a square form. What will be the approximate length of the diagonal of the largest possible square? (Assume )
A wire is looped in the form of a circle of diameter 70 cm. It is bent again into a square form. What will be the approximate length of the diagonal of the largest possible square? (Assume )
Solution
The wire is shaped as a circle with diameter 70 cm. When reshaped into a square, the wire length remains constant.
The circumference of the circle equals the length of the wire:
Circumference
cm
When the wire is bent into a square, the perimeter of the square equals the wire length.
Perimeter of square
cm
The diagonal of a square with side length is given by:
Diagonal
Diagonal cm
Therefore, the length of the diagonal is cm.
