Find the area (in cm2) of a circle with a maximum radius that can be inscribed in a rectangle of length 18 cm and breadth 12 cm.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 36π\pi.

Maximum radius of the circle that can be inscribed in the rectangle is half of the breadth of the rectangle.

Radius, r = 12/2 

⇒ r = 6 cm

Now, area of circle = πr2\pi r^2

⇒ 36π\pi
