A piece of string fits exactly once around the perimeter of a square whose area is 144.
Rounded to the nearest whole number, what is the area of the largest circle that
can be formed from the piece of string?
:
The side of square = sqrt%28144%29 = 12
:
We know the circumference of the circle = the perimeter of the square 4(12)
Find r of the circle
2%2Api%2Ar = 48
r = 48%2F%282%2Api%29
r = 7.639
:
A = pi%2A7.639%5E2
A = 183 sq/units
