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​.
