Question:

The area of a circle is 1386 cm2. What is the radius of the circle? [Use π = $\frac{22}{7}$]

Options:

21 cm

7 cm

14 cm

18 cm

Correct Answer:

21 cm

Explanation:

We know that,

Area of a circle = πr2

Given,

Area of the circle = 1386 cm 2

 πr2 = 1386

= \(\frac{22}{7}\)× r2 = 1386

= r2 = 1386 × \(\frac{7}{22}\)

= r2= 63 × 7

= r = \(\sqrt {441}\) = 21 cm
