A Correct answer
Explanation

Area of square = 3696. Side = sqrt(3696) approx 60.79. Area of circle = pi * r^2 = 3696. r = sqrt(3696/pi) approx 34.27. Circumference = 2 * pi * r = 2 * pi * 34.27 approx 215.3. Distance for 8 rounds = 8 * 215.3 = 1722.4. Closest option is 1724.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Area of segment = Area of sector - Area of triangle. Sector = (120/360) * pi * r^2 = (1/3) * 3.14 * 144 = 150.72. Triangle = 0.5 * r^2 * sin(120) = 0.5 * 144 * (sqrt(3)/2) = 36 * 1.73 = 62.28. Segment = 150.72 - 62.28 = 88.44.

A Correct answer
Explanation

C = 2*pi*r, so r = C/(2*pi). Area A = pi*r^2 = pi * (C/(2*pi))^2 = C^2 / (4*pi). dA/dC = 2C / (4*pi) = C / (2*pi). Error in A = (dA/dC) * error in C = (100 / (2*pi)) * 0.05 = 5 / (2*pi). Percentage error = (Error in A / A) * 100 = (5/(2*pi) / (100^2/(4*pi))) * 100 = (5/(2*pi) * 4*pi / 10000) * 100 = (10 / 10000) * 100 = 0.1 = 1/10.
