A rectangle does not have a diameter, as such, but the diagonal is similar enough. If the sides of a rectangle are x cm and y cm then, using Pythagoras's theorem, the diagonal is sqrt(x2 + y2) cm.

Find the dimensions of the rectangle of largest area that can be inscribed in a circle of radius a?

The largest rectangle would be a square. If the circle has radius a, the diameter is 2a. This diameter would also be the diameter of a square of side length b. Using the Pythagorean theorem, b2 + b2 = (2a)2. 2b2 = 4a2 b2 = 2a2 b = √(2a2) or a√2 = the length of the sides of the square The area of a square of side length b is therefore (√(2a2))2 = 2a2 which is the largest area for a rectangle inscribed in a circle of radius a.
