The correct Answer is:
To find the ratio between the area of a square and that of a circle when the length of a side of the square is equal to the diameter of the circle, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the side length of the square Let the length of a side of the square be \( A \). Since the diameter of the circle is equal to the side of the square, we also have: - Diameter of the circle = \( A \) ### Step 2: Calculate the radius of the circle The radius \( r \) of the circle can be calculated as: \[ r = \frac{\text{Diameter}}{2} = \frac{A}{2} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the area of the square The area \( A_s \) of the square is given by: \[ A_s = \text{side}^2 = A^2 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the area of the circle The area \( A_c \) of the circle is given by the formula: \[ A_c = \pi r^2 \] Substituting the value of \( r \): \[ A_c = \pi \left(\frac{A}{2}\right)^2 = \pi \cdot \frac{A^2}{4} = \frac{\pi A^2}{4} \] ### Step 5: Find the ratio of the areas Now, we need to find the ratio of the area of the square to the area of the circle: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{A_s}{A_c} = \frac{A^2}{\frac{\pi A^2}{4}} = \frac{A^2 \cdot 4}{\pi A^2} \] The \( A^2 \) terms cancel out: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{4}{\pi} \] ### Step 6: Substitute the value of \( \pi \) Given \( \pi = \frac{22}{7} \), we substitute this value into the ratio: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{4}{\frac{22}{7}} = 4 \cdot \frac{7}{22} = \frac{28}{22} \] ### Step 7: Simplify the ratio Now, we can simplify \( \frac{28}{22} \): \[ \frac{28}{22} = \frac{14}{11} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the ratio between the area of the square and the area of the circle is: \[ \text{Ratio} = 14 : 11 \] ---
