The length of each side of a square is twice the radius of a circle. If the radius of the circle is 7 cm, then what is the difference between the areas of the square and the circle? [Use π = $\frac{22}{7}$] |
44 cm2 46 cm2 42 cm2 48 cm2 |
42 cm2 |
We know that, The area of a circle = πR2 Area of a square = (Side)2 We have, The length of each side of a square = twice the radius of a circle. The radius of the circle = 7 cm. Side of the square = 7 × 2 = 14 cm Area of the square = 142 = 196 cm2 Area of the circle = \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 72 = 154 cm2 So, the difference between the areas of the square and the circle = 196 - 154 = 42 cm2 |
