    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=227\pi = \frac{22}{7}

    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=227\pi=\dfrac{22}{7}​​

    Find circumference of the circle.

    Formula Used:

    Area (rectangle): Ar=l×b_r = l \times b​​

    Area (circle): Ac=πr2_c=\pi r^2​.

    Circumference (circle): C=2πr2\pi r​.

    Solution:
    Area of rectangle =169×154=26026 m2169 \times 154 = 26026\ \text{m}^2​​
    Set equal: πr2\pi r^2​ = 26026

    r2=26026π=26026227=26026×722=8281r^2=\dfrac{26026}{\pi}=\dfrac{26026}{\frac{22}7}=26026 \times \dfrac{7}{22}=8281​​
    So r=8281=91 m.=\sqrt{8281}=91\text{ m}.​​

    Circumference C=2πr=2×227×91=447×91=44×13=572 m=2\pi r=2\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times 91=\dfrac{44}{7}\times 91=44\times 13=572\text{ m}​​
