A square does not have a radius, as a radius is a line segment that connects the center of a circle to any point on its circumference. In a square, the equivalent of a radius would be the distance from the center to a vertex, which is half the length of a diagonal. To find this distance, you can use the Pythagorean theorem by dividing the length of one side by the square root of 2.

A square does not have a radius.

A square, with sides of length x units, can have an inscribed circle. Such a circle would have a radius of x/2 units.

Or the square could have a circumscribing circle. This would have a radius of x/sqrt(2) units.
