A Wire in the form of a circle, encloses an area 3118.5 $$cm^2$$. It is now bent to form a rectangle whose length and breadth are very nearly in the ratio 7 : 4. The length of the rectangle, in cm, is:(Take $$\pi = \frac{22}{7}$$)
Area enclosed by wire = 3118.5Â $$cm^2$$
As we know,Â
Area of circle =Â $$\pi\ r^2$$
$$\therefore\ \frac{22}{7}\times\ r^2=3118.5$$
$$\therefore\ \ r^2=992.25$$
$$\therefore\ \ r =31.5\ cm$$
Now,Â
Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be 7x and 4x respectively.
$$\therefore\ \ $$The circumference of the circle = Perimeter of the rectangle formed by bending
$$2\pi\ r=2\left(l+b\right)$$
$$\therefore\ 2\times\ \frac{22}{7}\times\ \ 31.5=2\left(7x+4x\right)$$
$$\therefore\ x=9$$
Therefore,Â
Length of the rectangle = 7x =Â $$7\times\ 9=63\ cm$$
Hence, Option D is correct.Â
