A circle and a rectangle have the same perimeter. The sides of the rectangle are 18 cm and 26 cm. Whatis the area of the circle?
Sides of rectangle are $$l=26$$ cm and $$b=18$$ cm
=> Perimeter of rectangle = $$2\times(26+18)=2\times44=88$$ cm
Let radius of circle be $$r$$ cm
=> Circumference of circle =Â $$2\pi r=88$$
= $$2\times\frac{22}{7}\times r=88$$
=> $$r=88\times\frac{7}{44}=14$$ cm
$$\therefore$$ Area of circle = $$\pi r^2$$
= $$\frac{22}{7}\times14\times14=616$$ $$cm^2$$
