How do you find the radius of a square?

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.


If a square has an area of 225cm how would you calculate the radius of the largest circle that could fit inside the square?

225/2=112.5cm


What is the diameter of the largest circle that will fit inside 14 inch box?

Assuming that the 14 inch box is square, you could fit a circle inside with a 14 inch diameter.


What is the circumference of a circle circumscribed about a square with a perimeter of 40?

Assuming you mean that the circle is touching all 4 corners of the square: If the perimeter of the square is 40, then each side of the square is 10 (40/4=10). You could find the diameter of the circle by breaking the square up into 2 triangles, drawing a diagonal line through the square. Using pythagorean's theory (a^2+b^2=c^2), we know legs 2 and b (they are each one side of the square, so: (10^2+10^2=c^2). 10^2 is 100, therefore it is (100+100=c^2). (200=c^2) (√200=c) and the √ of 200 is about 14.142, meaning that the diameter of the circle is √200, which is the same as 10√2, (or approximately 14.142). You multiply the diameter of a circle by pi to get the circumference of a circle. Therefore, the exact answer is (10√2)(π), which would be approximated at 44.42882938158366247015880990 units, where π is pi.


A triangle or a square or a rectangle or a pentagon or a hexagon or an octagon or a circle has the least area and which has the maximum area if the perimeter of each is 44 cm?

Triangle-least area, circle- most area, per given perimeter . The circle would have an area of 154 square cm. the triangle could have an area of almost zero if it were a long, skinny triangle. An equilateral triangle would have an area approx 92.8 sq cm.

Why can a circle not have the same area as a square?

This depends on the circle you're talking about. A theoretical circle and square most certainly could have the same area. If the circle's radius is 1, then the square's length and width would be √π. The problem here is actually in creating such a measurement in a finite number of steps. Because pi is a transcendental number, that is not possible.
