Answer:

Area of Circle = 346.5 cm².

Area of square = 272.25 cm ² .

Explanation:

So , 2πR = 66

2 × 22 / 7 × R = 66

R comes out is 21/2 cm .

Area of Circle = 22/7 × 21/2 × 21/2 = 33×21/2

= 693 / 2 = 346.5 cm².

If bent into the shape of a square ;

4 a = 66

a = 33/2 . ( Side of a square )

Area of square = a ² = 33×33/4 = 1089/4

= 272.25 cm ² .
