The side of a square is 5 cm which is 13 cm less than the diameter of a circle. What is the approximate area of the circle ?

1. 245 sq cm
2. 235 sq cm
3. 265 sq cm
4. 255 sq cm
5. 275 sq cm

Correct Option: D

Diameter of the circle = 13 + 5 = 18 cm
∴ Radius = Diameter/2 =18/2 = 9 cm
Area of the circle = πr² = (22/7) x 9²
= (22 x 81)/9
= 1782/7
= 254.57 sq cm
= 255 sq cm
