Question

The diagram shows a square of side k cm.
The circle inside the square touches all four sides of the square.
(a) The shaded area is A\((cm)^2\)
Show that  4A=4\(k^2\)-\pi\((k)^2\)

(b) Make k the subject of the formula 4A=4\(k^2\)-\pi\((k)^2\)

Answer/Explanation

Area of square= \(K\times K =K^2(cm)^2\)

Given, Shaded region= \(A (cm)^2\)

Area of circle=\(\pi(\frac{K}{4})^2

A=\(K^2\)-\(\pi(\frac{(K)^2}{4})

4A=4\(K^2-\pi K^2\) Hence Proved

Question

A circle has a radius of 50 cm.

(a) Calculate the area of the circle in \({cm}^2\)

(b) Write your answer to part (a) in \({m}^2\)

Answer/Explanation

Area of the circle= \(\pi r^2\)

where, r is radius of circle

=\(\pi.50.50\)

=\(\pi 2500 {cm}^2\)

=2500.3.14

=25.314

=7850 \({cm}^2\)
