Q2 of 59 Page 122

Will it be true to say that the perimeter of a square circumscribing a circle of radius a cm is 8a cm? Give reason for your answer.

True

Let r be the radius of circle = a cm


∴ Diameter of the circle = d = 2 × Radius = 2a cm


As the circle is inscribed in the square, therefore,


Side of a square = Diameter of circle = 2a cm


Hence, Perimeter of a square = 4 × (side) = 4 × 2a = 8a cm
