SSC CHSL - 08 July 2024 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q51

The perimeter of a square whose area is the same as the area of a semi-circle of radius 222\sqrt2 cm is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 8π8\sqrtπ  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
