If area of a square is 44 cm², find the area of the circle formed by the same perimeter.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Given: Area of square = 44 cm²

For a square with area 44 cm²:

side² = 44

side = √44

side = √(4 × 11)

side = 2√11 cm


The perimeter of the square:

Perimeter = 4 × side

Perimeter = 4 × 2√11

Perimeter = 8√11 cm


The circle has the same perimeter as the square.

Circumference of circle = 8√11 cm

Using the formula for circumference:

2πr = 8√11

r = 8√112π\dfrac{8√11}{2π}

r = 4√11π\dfrac{4√11}{π} cm


The area of the circle:

Area = πr²

Area = π × (4√11π)2\left(\dfrac{4√11}{π}\right)^2

Area = π × 16×11π2\dfrac{16 × 11}{π²}

Area = π × 176π2\dfrac{176}{π²}

Area = 176π\dfrac{176}{π} cm²

Area = 1763.14\dfrac{176}{3.14} ≈ 56 cm²

Therefore, the area of the circle is 56 cm².
