A circular wire of diameter 112 cm is cut and bent in the form of a rectangle whose sides are in the ratio of 9 : 7. The smaller side of the rectangle is

Using Rule 14,
Circumference of circular shape = π × diameter

=	22	× 112 = 352 cm
	7

= length of wire
∴ Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (length + breadth)
⇒ 2 (l + b) = 352

⇒ l + b =	352	= 176
	2

∴ Smaller side of rectangle =	7	× 176 = 77
	16
