The square.
The same as half the side of the square, as the radius of the circle is half its diameter, and the diameter of the circle is equal to the side of the square.
It is not. If you draw yourself a square then inscribe a circle with a radius of half the length of a side of the square, the circle will fit inside the square but the corners of the square will be outside the circle. Thus by inspection the area of the square is larger than the area of the circle.
Let's call the number 'K' ... the side of the square and the radius of the circle.-- the area of the square is [ K2 ]-- the area of the circle is [ (pi) K2 ]-- The ratio of the circle to the square is [(pi) K2 / K2 ] = pi
It depends on the diameter of the circle and the width of the square, if they are the same then the answer is no. If you draw yourself a square then inscribe a circle with a radius of half the length of a side of the square, the circle will fit inside the square but the corners of the square will be outside the circle. Thus by inspection the area of the square is larger than the area of the circle.
Given: a square with side = s and a circle with radius = s (radius is equal to the length of the side of the square) Areasquare = side squared = s2 Areacircle = pi times the square of the radius = pi times s2 Areasquare : areacircle = s2 : pi s2 = 1 : pi (The ratio is one to pi.)

Half the length of a side of the square.
A circle has a radius because each radius is the same. A square does not because if it did, not every radius would be the same. Since a square is a regular polygon, it has an apothem, which goes from the center to the middle of a side, so it doesn't need a radius.
If the circle is inscribed in the square, the side length of the square is the same as the diameter of the circle which is twice its radius: → area_square = (2 × 5 in)² = 10² sq in = 100 sq in If the circle circumscribes the square, the diagonal of the square is the same as the diameter of the circle; Using Pythagoras the length of the side of the square can be calculated: → diagonal = 2 × 5 in = 10 in → side² + side² = diagonal² → 2 × side² = diagonal² → side² = diagonal² / 2 → side = diagonal / √2 → side = 10 in / √2 → area _square = (10 in / √2)² = 100 sq in / 2 = 50 sq in.
To find the area of a circle inscribed in a square, you can use the formula for the area of a circle (πr^2) and the properties of a square (all sides equal). Since the diameter of the circle is equal to a side of the square, you can find the radius of the circle by halving the side length of the square. Then, plug the radius value into the area of a circle formula to find the area.
Finding a circle with the same area as a square is known as squaring the circle. It has been proven to be impossible. (this was done in 1882) I have included some references as links to explain why this cannot be done. If you have a circle inscribed a square, then its radius is 1/2 of the side length of the square or its diameter is the length of a side. If this is what you mean then the ratio of the side of the square to the radius of the circle is 1 to 1/2 or 2 to 1.
Area of a circle = pi*radius2 The radius of the circle will be 1/2 the size of the length of a side of the square.
