Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 240 cm2

Given :

One side of rectangle = 10 cm

Diameter of circle = 26 cm

Formula used:

Diagonal = √(L2 + B2)

Area = Length × Breadth

Concept used:

When rectangle is inscribed in a circle

Diameter of circle = Diagonal of rectangle

Calculation:

According to the question

262 = L2 + 102

⇒ L2 = 676 – 100

⇒ L2  = 576

⇒ L = 24 cm

Area = 10 × 24 = 240 cm2

The area of rectangle is 240 cm2
