Pragya wrapped a cord around a circular pipe of radius 4 cm (adjoining figure) and cut off the length required of the cord. Then she wrapped it around a square box of side 4 cm (also shown). Did she have any cord left? [Take π =3.14] |

Answer» Radius of pipe = 4 cm Wrapping cord around circular pipe = 2πr = 2 x 3.14 x 4 = 25.12 cm Again, wrapping cord around a square = 4 x side = 4 x 4 = 16 cm Remaining cord = Cord wrapped on pipe – Cord wrapped on square = 25.12 – 16 = 9.12 cm Thus, she has left 9.12 cm cord. |
