The diameter of a circle is $$\frac{7}{4}$$ times of the base of a triangle, and the height of the triangle is 14 cm. If the area of the triangle is 56 $$cm^{2}$$, then what is the circumference (in m) of the circle?
The diameter of a circle is $$\frac{7}{4}$$ times of the base of a triangle.
$$\text{diameter of a circle}=\frac{7}{4}\times\ \text{base of a triangle}$$Â Â Eq.(i)
height of the triangle is 14 cm. If the area of the triangle is 56 $$cm^{2}$$.
area of the triangle =Â $$\frac{1}{2}\times\ base\times height$$
$$56 =Â \frac{1}{2}\times\ base\times 14$$
$$4 = \frac{1}{2}\times\ base$$
base of a triangle = 8 cm Eq.(ii)
Put Eq.(ii) in Eq.(i).
$$\text{diameter of a circle}=\frac{7}{4}\times\ 8$$=Â $$7\times\ 2$$
= 14 cm
Circumference of the circle =Â $$\pi\ \times\ diameter$$
=Â $$\frac{22}{7}\times\ 14$$
= $$22\times2$$
= 44 cm
= 0.44 m [As we know that 100cm = 1m. Then 1cm = 0.01m. So 44 cm = $$0.01\times44$$ = 0.44 m]
