Answer:

r = 7 cm; l = 11cm

The circle encloses more area than the square

Explanation:

(a) Radius of circle

The formula for the circumference of a circle is

A = 2πr

r = A/(2π)

Data:

C = 44 in

Calculation:

r = 44/(2 × 22/7)

= 44/2 × 7/22

= 2/2 × 7

= 7 in

(b) Side of square

P = 4l

l = P/4

= 44/4

= 11 in

(c) Areas

(i) Circle

A = πr²

= 22/7 × 7²

= 22/7 × 49

= 22 × 7

= 154 cm²

(ii) Square

A = l²

= 11²

= 121 cm²

The circle encloses more area than the square.
