Is the area of the largest circle that can be drawn inside a rectangle of length a cm and breadth b cm (a > b) is πb2cm? Why?

False

The largest circle that can be drawn inside a rectangle is possible when rectangle becomes a square.


Diameter of the circle = Breadth of the rectangle = b


Radius of the circle = b/2


Hence area of the circle = πr2 = π(b/2)2
