Question : The area of a circle is the same as the area of a square. What is the ratio of the diameter of the circle and the diagonal of the square?
Option 1: $1:\sqrt{\pi }$
Option 2: $2:\sqrt{\pi }$
Option 3: $\sqrt{2}:\sqrt{\pi }$
Option 4: $1:{\pi }$
Correct Answer: $\sqrt{2}:\sqrt{\pi }$
Solution : Let the area of a circle $=\pi r^2$ where $r$ is the radius of the circle. The diameter of the circle is $2r$. Let the area of a square $=a^2$ where $a$ is the side length of the square. The diagonal ($d$) of the square $=a\sqrt{2}$ Given that the area of the circle is equal to the area of the square. $\pi r^2 = a^2$ ⇒ $a = r\sqrt{\pi}$ Substituting this into the formula for the diagonal of the square. $d = a\sqrt{2} = r\sqrt{2\pi}$ The required ratio $=\frac{2r}{r\sqrt{2\pi}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2\pi}} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{\pi}}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt{2}:\sqrt{\pi }$.
