Cumulative area of the two pieces = 25% more than the by square.
Area of 2 pieces = 1.25 × 4π2 = 5πr2
Extra area = πr2
Extra area = area of two new circles that are now created circles.
Area each new circle =

Let radius of new circle be r1.
Now, πr12 =
r1 =


Now, r1, h and r form a right angled triangle.
h2 + r12 = r2
h2 + = r2
h =
Answer choice (A)


Question:
