Given:

Area of square = 5929 cm2

Concept:

The length of the wire stays the same, which is the perimeter of the square and also the circumference of the circle.

Solution:

⇒ Side of square = √5929 = 77 cm

⇒ Perimeter of square = 4 × 77 = 308 cm

⇒ This becomes the circumference of the circle, so, radius of circle = Circumference / (2π) = 308 / (2 × 3.14) = 49 cm

⇒ Area of circle = πr² = 3.14 × 49 × 49 = 7546 cm2

Therefore, the area enclosed by the wire when it is bent into a circle is 7546 cm2.
