Correct Answer: 38.50 cm 2
Solution :
Given, the area of the square formed by copper wire = 30.25 cm
2
Area of square = s
2
where s is the side of the square.
⇒ 30.25 = s
2
⇒ s = 5.5 cm
Now, total length of wire = 4s = 4 × 5.5 = 22 cm
Let
Length of copper wire = Perimeter of circle formed
⇒ 4s = 2
⇒ 22 =
⇒
Area of required circle =
=
= 38.50 cm
2
Hence, the correct answer is 38.50 cm
