Find the area of the largest circle that can be drawn inside a rectangle with sides 8m × 9m.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Radius (r) of largest circle that can be drawn inside the rectangle = \(\frac{smallest\;side}{2}\) = \(\frac{8}{2}\) = 4
Area of circle = \(\pi \) r2
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 42
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 16
=\(\frac{352}{7}\)
= 50\(\frac{2}{7}\) m2
