A circle is cut from a rectangular sheet of breadth 16 cm. The diameter of circle is equal to 1/4th of the Length of the rectangle. The area of a square of side 16 cm is 2/3rd of the area of rectangle.The area of circle cut from rectangle is approximately what percent of area of rectangle? Correct Answer 7.4%

Given,

Area of square = (side)2

Area of square = 16 × 16 = 256 sq.cm

Area of rectangle = 256 × 3/2 = 384 sq.cm

Given,

Area of rectangle = Length × breadth

Length of rectangle = 384/16 = 24 cm

Diameter of a circle = 24/4 = 6 cm

Radius of a circle = 6/2 = 3 cm

Area of circle = 22/7 × 3 × 3

= 28.28 sq.cm

Required percentage =

= (28.28/384) × 100

= 7.4%
