POINTS TO REMEMBER:

Area of a square inscribed in a circle of radius r

is 2r2.

Side of a square inscribed in a circle of radius r is

2 r.
SPHERE
The ares of the largest triangle inscribed in a
semi-circle of radius r is r2.

The area of the largest circle that can be drawn

in a square of side x is (x/2)2.

The area of a circle circumscribed in an

HEMI SPHERE equuilateral triangle of side x is /3 x2;

The area of a circle inscribed in an equuilateral

triangle of side x is /12 x2.

If the area of a square is x sq.cm. Then area of

the circle formed by the same perimeter is 4x/
cm3.
CIRCLE
Relation between circumference (c) and area (a)
of a circle is c2 = 4a

An equilateral triangle is circumscribed by a

circle and another circle is inscribed in that
triangle.Then the ratio of the areas of the two
circles is 4 : 1.
SEMICIRCLE
The ratio of the volumes of a cube to that of the
sphere which will fit inside the cube is 6 : .

A cube of maximum volume is cut from a sphere

then the ratio of the volumes of the cube and
the sphere is 2 : 3 .

Two circular cylinders of equal volume have

their heights in ratio of a : b then the ratio of
their is b : a.
