A wire is looped in the form of a circle of diameter 70 cm. It is bent again into a square form. What will be the approximate length of the diagonal of the largest possible square? (Assume $π = 22/7$) |
$45\sqrt{2}\, cm$ 60 cm 50 cm $55\sqrt{2}\, cm$ |
$55\sqrt{2}\, cm$ |
The correct answer is Option (4) → $55\sqrt{2}\, cm$ Step 1: Length of the wire (circumference of the circle) Diameter = 70 cm $\text{Circumference} = \pi d = \frac{22}{7} \times 70 = 220 \text{ cm}$ So, total wire length = 220 cm. Step 2: Form a square with the same wire Perimeter of square = 220 cm $\text{Side of square} = \frac{220}{4} = 55 \text{ cm}$ Step 3: Diagonal of the square Diagonal = $\text{side} \times \sqrt{2}$ $= 55\sqrt{2} \text{ cm}$ |
