Given: 

Width of the rectangle (w) = 42m

Radius of the circle (r) = 21m

Sum of area of rectangle and circle = 4116 m2

Concept Used:

Area of a rectangle = length × width

Area of a circle  = πr2

Calculation:

Area of the circle = 3.1416 × (21)2 = 1385.4424 m2

From given,

Sum of area of rectangle and circle = Area of rectangle + Area of circle

⇒ 4116 = Area of rectangle + 1385.4424

⇒ Area of rectangle = 4116 - 1385.4424 = 2730.5576 m2

Area of rectangle = length × width

⇒ Length = Area of rectangle/Width

Length = 2730.5576/42 = 65 m

∴The length of the rectangle is 65 m.
