Question

Describe a rectangle whose perimeter is 132 ft, and whose area is less than 1 ft squared. Is it possible to find a circle whose circumference is 132 ft and whose area is less than 1 foot squared? if not, provide an example or type a sentence explaining why no such circle exists.

Answer 1

1 ft is not an area, it's a distance or length.

Explanation:

C = pi*d

d = 132/pi

------

radius = 66/pi

-----

If the area is less than 1 ft^2

pi(r^2) < 1

r^2 < 1/pi

----

r < sqrt(1/pi)

----

radius < 0.318
