If a circular wire is bent to form a square, and the radius of the circle is 14 cm, what is the side of the square?

  1. 14

  2. 22

  3. 44

  4. 28

Answer: B

Solution

Solution: The wire length equals the circle's circumference, \(2\pi r=2\times\frac{22}{7}\times14=88\) cm. This becomes the square's perimeter. Therefore, side \(=88\div4=22\) cm. Trick: Equate the circle's circumference to the square's perimeter.
