    Area Of square a^2 = 81 ====> a = 9
    The wire when bent in a form of Square i.e. the total perimeter of the square

    Therefore,Perimeter of Square = 4a = 4*9 = 36 which is total length of the wire
    the wire which is bent in the form of semicircle forms circumference of semicircle

    therefore circumference is 22/7r+2r = 36 where 'r' is radius
    (22+14)*r/7 = 36

    r = 7 cm

    Therefore area of semicircle is {(22/7)r^2}/2 = (1/2)*(22/7)*7*7

    By simplifying
    we get Area of semicircle = 77 cm^2
