The perimeter of a square whose area is the same as the area of a semi-circle of radius cm is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. cm.
Given,
Radius of circle = 2√2 cm
We know,
Area of square = a2
Area of semi-circle = πr2/2
Perimeter of square = 4a
Where, a = side of square and r = radius of the circle
Now, according to the question;
Area of square = Area of semi-circle
⇒ a2 = π × (2√2)2/2
⇒ a = 2√π
Now, perimeter of the square = 4a = 4 × 2√π
⇒ 8√π cm
