Expert Answer:
Area of square = 121 cm2
So, side of square = 11 cm
And perimeter of the square = 4 x 11 cm = 44 cm
Thus, the length of the wire is 44 cm.
Now, the wire is bent to form a circle.
Circumeference of the circle = 44 cm
2 ∏ r = 44
r = 44 x 7 / 2 x 22 = 7 cm
Thus, radius of the circle is 7 cm and its circumference is 44 cm.
Thus, the length of the wire is 44 cm.
