If perimeter of a circle is equal to that of a square, find ratio of their areas.
Answer
14 : 11
The correct answer is 14 : 11 — Area ratio = πr² / a² = πr² / (π²r²/4) = 4/π = 4/(22/7) = 28/22 = 14/11.
Step-by-step solution
- 2πr = 4a ⇒ a = πr/2.
- Area ratio = πr² / a² = πr² / (π²r²/4) = 4/π = 4/(22/7) = 28/22 = 14/11.
