Question

IREADY MATH AREA PLS HELP! A rectangle and a circle have the same area.

Which statement describes the length of the rectangle?

-The width of the rectangle is equal to the radius of the circle.
- The radius of the circle is 8

Answer 1

The first answer

Explanation:

Area of a rectangle

a = l x w

Area of a circle

a =
`\pi r^(2)`

Set them each to each other and substitute 8 for w and for r

l x 8 =
`\pi 8^(2)` We can divide both sides by 8

l =
`\pi`8
