If the perimeter of a circular field was decreased by 50%, let us write by calculating what per cent it decreases the area of circular field.
Let the radius of the circular field be r units.
Circumference = 2π r
The area of a circle = πr2
Now, decreasing the perimeter to 50%
![]()
New perimeter =3πr
⇒ New radius = 1.5r
Area of new circle = π(1.5r)2
⇒ Area of new circle = 2.25πr2
Increase in area =2.25πr2 - πr2 =1.25πr2
Per centage increase in the area of circular field ![]()
⇒ Percentage increase = 125%
