A wire is bent in a shape of a square of side 4cm. The wire is again bent into the shape of a circle.Find the radius of the circle.
The key is that the circumference of the square and the circumference of the circle are the same.
C of square = 4 sides * 4 cm = 16 cm
C of circle = 2*pi*r
You know the C of the circle is 16 cm so:
Simplifying:
r=2.55 cm
