Step-by-step solution

3 steps

C. 14 cm

  1. 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 = 4×side4 \times \text{side}
    Perimeter = 4×22 cm=88 cm4 \times 22 \text{ cm} = 88 \text{ cm}

  2. 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 = 88 cm88 \text{ cm}

  3. Use the circumference formula to find the radius.

    The formula for the circumference of a circle is C=2πrC = 2 \pi r, where rr is the radius. We are given π=227\pi = \frac{22}{7}.

    88=2×227×r88 = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r 88=447r88 = \frac{44}{7} r

    To solve for rr, multiply both sides by 744\frac{7}{44}:

    r=88×744r = 88 \times \frac{7}{44} r=2×7r = 2 \times 7 r=14 cmr = 14 \text{ cm}

    The radius of the circle is 14 cm14 \text{ cm}.
