The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio between the area of a circle and the area of an equilateral triangle given that the area of a square and a circle are the same, and the perimeter of a square and an equilateral triangle are also the same. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Let the side of the square be \( a \)**. - The area of the square \( A_s \) is given by: \[ A_s = a^2 \] 2. **Since the area of the square is equal to the area of the circle, we can express the area of the circle**: - Let the radius of the circle be \( r \). The area of the circle \( A_c \) is given by: \[ A_c = \pi r^2 \] - Setting the areas equal gives: \[ a^2 = \pi r^2 \] - From this, we can express \( r \) in terms of \( a \): \[ r = \sqrt{\frac{a^2}{\pi}} = \frac{a}{\sqrt{\pi}} \] 3. **Next, we find the perimeter of the square**: - The perimeter \( P_s \) of the square is: \[ P_s = 4a \] 4. **Let the side of the equilateral triangle be \( b \)**. The perimeter \( P_t \) of the equilateral triangle is: - The perimeter of the triangle is: \[ P_t = 3b \] - Since the perimeters of the square and the triangle are equal, we have: \[ 4a = 3b \] - From this, we can express \( b \) in terms of \( a \): \[ b = \frac{4a}{3} \] 5. **Now, we calculate the area of the equilateral triangle**: - The area \( A_t \) of an equilateral triangle is given by: \[ A_t = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} b^2 \] - Substituting \( b = \frac{4a}{3} \): \[ A_t = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \left(\frac{4a}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \cdot \frac{16a^2}{9} = \frac{4\sqrt{3}}{9} a^2 \] 6. **Now we have both areas**: - Area of the circle \( A_c = \pi r^2 = a^2 \) - Area of the equilateral triangle \( A_t = \frac{4\sqrt{3}}{9} a^2 \) 7. **Finding the ratio of the area of the circle to the area of the equilateral triangle**: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{A_c}{A_t} = \frac{a^2}{\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{9} a^2} = \frac{9}{4\sqrt{3}} \] 8. **Simplifying the ratio**: - The ratio can be expressed as: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{9}{4\sqrt{3}} \implies \text{Ratio} = 9 : 4\sqrt{3} \] ### Final Answer: The ratio between the area of the circle and the area of the equilateral triangle is \( 9 : 4\sqrt{3} \).
