Answer

Given:

The adjacent sides of a rectangle are 20 cm and 24 cm.

The adjacent sides of a rectangle are 20 cm and 24 cm. If its perimeter is equal to the circumference of a circle, the radius of the circle is : Area of a Trapezium and a Polygon, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 8.

The perimeter of rectangle = The circumference of a circle

Let r be the radius of the circle.

The adjacent sides of a rectangle are 20 cm and 24 cm. If its perimeter is equal to the circumference of a circle, the radius of the circle is : Area of a Trapezium and a Polygon, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 8.

As we know, the perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + breadth)

And, the circumference of the circle = 2πr

⇒ 2(20 + 24) = 2 x 227\dfrac{22}{7} x r

⇒ 2 x 44 = 447\dfrac{44}{7} x r

⇒ 88 = 447\dfrac{44}{7} x r

⇒ r = 7×8844\dfrac{7 \times 88}{44}

⇒ r = 61644\dfrac{616}{44}

⇒ r = 14 cm

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
