1 metre square means a square with side 1 m. Don't confuse it with square metre. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Its area = 1 x 1 = 1 sq m.
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 4 x (Length of side) = 4 x 1 = 4 m.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let the radius of the circle be 'r' metre.
\n" ); document.write( "Then its area = \"pi%2Ar%5E2\".
\n" ); document.write( "The area of this circle is equal to that of the square.
\n" ); document.write( "So, \"pi%2Ar%5E2+=+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "or \"r%5E2+=+1%2F%28pi%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "or \"r+=+sqrt%281%2F%28pi%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "or r = 0.5642 m.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hence, circumference of the circle = \"2%2A%28pi%29%2Ar\" = \"2%2A%28pi%29%2A0.5642\" = 3.545 m.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the difference between the perimeter of the square and circumference of the circle = 4 - 3.545 = 0.455 m
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
