Question
Is the area of the largest circle that can be drawn inside a rectangle of length a cm and breadth b cm (a > b) is πb2 cm2? Why?
Solution
The largest circle that can be drawn inside a rectangle is possible when rectangle becomes a square.
∴ Diameter of the circle = Breadth of the rectangle = b
∴ Radius of the circle = `"b"/2`
Hence area of the circle = πr2 = `π("b"/2)^2`
