A circle is drawn circumscribing a rectangle of sides 24 cm and 7 cm. Find the area of the circle. (Take π = 3.14)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Given,
The length of the Rectangle is = 24 cm
The breadth of the Rectangle = 7 cm
We know that,
Area of a circle = πr2
By Phythagorus theorem
= 242 + 72 = 252
Here, the Radius of the given circle = \(\frac{25}{2}\)
= Area of the Circle = π× (\(\frac{25}{2}\))2
= Area of the circle = 3.14× (\(\frac{625}{4}\)) = 490.625 cm2
