a wire in the form of a rectangle 18.7cm long and 14.3cm wide is reshaped and bent into the form of circle.
find the radius of the circle so formed
:
Find the perimeter of the rectangle
P = 2(18.7) + 2(14.3)
P = 66 cm
This will be the circumference of the circle
2%2Api%2Ar+=+66
r = 66%2F%282%2Api%29
r = 10.504 cm is the radius of the circle formed
