The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the length of each side of the square formed by rebending a wire that was originally in the shape of a circle with a radius of 35 cm. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate the circumference of the circle:** The circumference (perimeter) of a circle is given by the formula: \[ C = 2 \pi r \] where \( r \) is the radius of the circle. Here, the radius \( r = 35 \) cm. We will use \( \pi \approx \frac{22}{7} \) for our calculations. Substituting the values: \[ C = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 35 \] 2. **Simplify the calculation:** First, calculate \( 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \): \[ 2 \times \frac{22}{7} = \frac{44}{7} \] Now multiply this by 35: \[ C = \frac{44}{7} \times 35 \] We can simplify \( 35 \) as \( \frac{35 \times 7}{7} = 245 \): \[ C = \frac{44 \times 35}{7} = \frac{1540}{7} = 220 \text{ cm} \] 3. **Set the perimeter of the square equal to the circumference of the circle:** When the wire is reshaped into a square, the perimeter of the square is equal to the circumference of the circle: \[ P_{\text{square}} = 4a \] where \( a \) is the length of each side of the square. Since the perimeter of the square is equal to the circumference of the circle: \[ 4a = 220 \] 4. **Solve for the length of each side of the square:** To find \( a \), divide both sides by 4: \[ a = \frac{220}{4} = 55 \text{ cm} \] ### Final Answer: The length of each side of the square is **55 cm**.
