A circle is drawn circumscribing a rectangle of sides 24 cm and 7 cm. Find the area of the circle. (Take π = 3.14)

490.625 cm²

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
