    Question

    Between a square of perimeter 44 cm and a circle of circumference 44 cm, which figure has a larger area and by how much?

    A.

    Square, 34 cm2^2​​

    B.

    Circle, 23 cm2^2​​

    C.

    Square, 33 cm2^2​​

    D.

    Circle, 33 cm2^2​​

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    The perimeter of the square = 44 cm,
    The circumference of the circle = 44 cm.

    Formula Used:
    Side of the square = Perimeter of the square4\frac{\text{Perimeter of the square}}{4}
    Area of the square = Side2\text{Side}^2
    Radius of the circle = Circumference of the circle2π\frac{\text{Circumference of the circle}}{2\pi}
    Area of the circle = π×Radius2 \pi \times \text{Radius}^2
    Solution:
    Side of the square:
    Side = 444=11 cm\frac{44}{4} = 11 \text{ cm}
    The area of the square is:
    Area of the square = 112=121 cm211^2 = 121 \text{ cm}^2
    Radius of the circle:
    Radius = 442π=442×227=7 cm\frac{44}{2\pi} = \frac{44}{2 \times \frac{22}{7}} = 7 \text{ cm}
    The area of the circle is:
    Area of the circle = π×72=227×49=154 cm2 \pi \times 7^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times 49 = 154 \text{ cm}^2
    Difference in area = 154 - 121 = 33 cm233 \text{ cm}^2
    Thus, the circle has a larger area by 33  cm2\text{ cm}^2​.
