Answer: The artist used 8.6 inches more of silver wire
Explanation:
Perimeter of the square
P = 4*a
P = 4*a = 40 in
a = 10 in
Each side of the square has a length of 10 in
The diameter of the circle is equal to the length of the side of the square
Diameter = 10 in
Perimeter of the circle
P_c = 2*π*radius = π*diameter
P_c = (3.14)*10 in = 31.4 in
Inches of silver wire (square) = 40 in
Inches of copper wire (circle) = 31.4 in
40- 31.4 in = 8.6 in
