Q4 of 37 Page 13

A wire made of silver is looped in the form of circular ear ring of radius 5.6 cm. It is rebent into a square form. Determine the length of the side of the square.

Given: Radius of the circle = 5.6cm


So, the circumference of the circle = 2πr



= 35.2cm


Now,


The perimeter of square = Circumference of a circle


= 35.2cm


Therefore,


Side of a square



= 8.8cm


Hence, the side of a square = 8.8cm
