Step-by-step solution
3 stepsC. 14 cm
Calculate the total length of the wire.
The wire is first bent to form a square of side 22 cm. The length of the wire is equal to the perimeter of this square.
Perimeter of square =
Perimeter =Relate the wire's length to the circle's circumference.
When the wire is re-bent to form a circle, its length becomes the circumference of the circle.
Circumference of circle =Use the circumference formula to find the radius.
The formula for the circumference of a circle is , where is the radius. We are given .
To solve for , multiply both sides by :
The radius of the circle is .
