Question 8: A steel wire when bent in the form of a square encloses an

area of 121 cm2. If the same wire is bent in the form of a circle, find the
O C

area of the circle.

©

ANSWER:
N

We have:
Area of the square = 121 cm2
⇒ (side)2 = (11)2 cm2
⇒ side = 11 cm.
So, the perimeter of the square = 4(side) = (4 × 11) cm = 44 cm.
Let r be the radius of the circle. Then,
Circumference of the circle = Perimeter of the square
⇒ 2πr = 44
 ⇒ 2 × 227× r = 44
⇒ r = 7 cm.
22
∴ Area of the circle = πr2 = ( × 7 × 7) = (22 × 7) = 154 cm2.

Question 15: The radius of one circular field is 5 m and that of the other

is 13 m. Find the radius of the circular field whose area is the difference

of the areas of first and second field.

ANSWER:
Let the area of the circular field whose radius is 5 m be A1, and the area
of the circular field whose radius is 13 m be A2. Let A3 and r cm be the
area and radius of the circular field, that is equal to the difference of the
areas of the two fields.
∴ A3 = A2 - A1

A1 = π (5)2 = (25π) m2
A2 = π (13)2 = (169 π) m2
A3 = A2 − A1 = (169π) −(25 π) = 144π m2
⇒A3 = π(r)2 = 144 π m2
⇒ (r)2 = 144 m2
⇒ r = √144 m = 12 m
Hence, the radius of the circular field is 12 m.
