A wire 390 in. long is cut into two pieces. One piece is formed into a square and the other into a circle. If the two figures have the same area, what are the lengths of the two pieces of wire (to the nearest tenth of an inch)?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is the length of the square side.

We know: the two figures have the same area

<=> [tex]x^{2}[/tex] = π[tex]r^{2}[/tex] (r being radius)

<=> x = [tex]\sqrt{II}[/tex] r

perimeter square = 4x = 4*r*[tex]\sqrt{II}[/tex]

perimeter circle = 2*r*π

<=> 390 = 4*r*[tex]\sqrt{II}[/tex]  + 2*r*π

<=> r = 29.16

=> perimeter square =  4*29.16*π

=> perimeter circle = 58.32π
