Find the length of the side of the square that has the same area as a circle with radius r cm.

Respuesta :

Let's say that the length of the side of the square is a. The area of the square will be length^2 = a^2

Now the area of a circle is given by πr^2. If the area of the square and the circle are equal, we can say that a^2 = πr^2, therefor a = sq.root of (πr^2) = r*sq.root of π (as an exact answer), or 1.772r (to three decimal places)

Square is a parallelogram whose area is equal to the product of its sides. The circle is a plane figure whose area is calculated by the formula [tex]\pi[/tex]r².

The length of the side of the square is [tex]r\sqrt{\pi}[/tex].

Given:

The radius of the circle is = r cm.

Length of the side of square = a cm

Now,

Area of Square is =

Area of Circle  = [tex]\pi[/tex]

Since, given that radius of a circle is equivalent to the length of the square, such that:

a² =  [tex]\pi[/tex]

a² =   [tex]\pi[/tex]r²

a = [tex]\sqrt{\pi r^2}[/tex]

a = [tex]r\sqrt{\pi}[/tex]

Thus, the value of the length of the square is [tex]r\sqrt{\pi}[/tex].
