Let original radius be r.Then, according to the questions,? (r + 1)2 - ?r2 = 22? ? x [(r + 1)2 - r2] = 22? (22/7) x (r + 1 + r ) x (r + 1 - r) = 22? 2r + 1 = 7 ? 2r = 6 ? r = 6/2 = 3 cm
Area of square plate = (Side)2 = (2d)2= 4d2Area of circular plate = ? (d/2)2= ?d2/4? Number of square plates = [(4d2)/4] / [(?d2)/4]= (4 x 4)/? ? 5Since, nearest integer value is 5.
