Question:
Find the radius of a circle whose perimeter and area are numerically equal.
Solution:
Let the radius of the required circle be r.
Now, Area of circle = Perimeter of the circle
$\Rightarrow \pi r^{2}=2 \pi \times r$
$\Rightarrow r^{2}=2 r$
$\Rightarrow r^{2}-2 r=0$
$\Rightarrow r(r-2)=0$
$\Rightarrow r-2=0 \quad[\because r \neq 0]$
$\Rightarrow r=2$ units
Hence, the radius of the circle is 2 units.
