Question
The sides of a rectangular field are 169 m and 154 m long. Its area is equal to the area of a circular field. What is the circumference (in m) of the circular field? Take π=722
A.
525
B.
540
C.
572
D.
544
Correct option is C
Given:
Rectangle sides: 169 m and 154 m.
Area of rectangle = Area of circle.
Use π=722
Find circumference of the circle.
Formula Used:
Area (rectangle): Ar=l×b
Area (circle): Ac=πr2.
Circumference (circle): C=2πr.
Solution: Area of rectangle =169×154=26026m2 Set equal: πr2 = 26026
r2=π26026=72226026=26026×227=8281 So r=8281=91 m.
