From figure, Let ABCD be the rectangular piece. Area of rectangular piece = 30 × 21 = 630 cm² From figure, Radius of the biggest circle that can be cut from the rectangular piece = = 10.5 cm Area of circle = πr² = = = 22 × 15.75 = 346.5 cm². Area of paper left = Area of rectangular piece - Area of circle = 630 - 346.5 = 283.5 cm². Hence, the area of the biggest circle that can be cut from the rectangular piece = 346.5 cm² and area of remaining paper = 283.5 cm².
