Given:

Length of rectangle = 180 m

Breadth of rectangle = 120 m

Area b/w circle and rectangle = 40000 m2

Formula used:

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

Area of circle = π(radius)2

Calculation:

 F1 Madhuri Defence 01.11.2022 D1 V3

According to the question,

Area of the circle - area of rectangle = 40000

Using the above formula

⇒ πr2 - (120 × 180) = 40000

⇒ \(\frac{22}{7}\)r2 = 40000 + 21600 = 61600

⇒ r2 = \(\frac{7}{22}\) × 61600 = 19600

⇒ r2 = (140)2

⇒ r = 140

∴ The radius of the circle is 140 m.
