The wire bent in the form of a square enclose an area of 484 Sq.cm. If the same wire is bent so as to from a circle than the area enclosed will be_________?
Correct answer: C. 616 Sq.cm
- A. 484Sq.cm
- B. 538 2/7 Sq.cm
- C. 616 Sq.cm
- D. 644 Sq.cm
Explanation
A square with area 484 cm² has side √484 cm = 22 cm, so the wire length is 4 × 22 cm = 88 cm. This becomes the circle's circumference, giving radius = 88 cm ÷ (2 × 22/7) = 14 cm and area = 22/7 × 14 cm × 14 cm = 616 cm². The likely mistake is choosing 484 cm², assuming the enclosed area remains unchanged when the shape changes.

About Area and Volume
Area measures the surface enclosed by two-dimensional figures, while volume measures the space occupied by three-dimensional solids. Problems use formulas for rectangles, triangles, circles, prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres, and composite figures, including unit conversion and the distinction between surface area, lateral area, and volume.
