take the radius as half of the length of the side of square and use the point where two diagonals of the square intersect as the center of the circle. with this info , the circle can be drawn.

Inscribe a circle in a square of side 30 mm?

A circle with radius 15mm will fit in a 30mm square. Find the intersection of the square's diagonals, that is the center of the circle.


How do you inscribe a polygon in a circle?

Use a compass to inscribe polygons in a circle.


How do you inscribe a square?

It depends in which shape you want to inscribe it e.g. circle, triangle, hexagon etc. If you provide more information, someone should be able to tell you.


Is the area of a circle bigger than the area of a square?

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.


Inscribe a circle within a square How would you find the area of leftover parts of the square that is the parts of the square that are not within the circle?

Find the total area of the square: length times height. Next, find the total area of the circle: Pi times radius to the second power, or Pi(r squared). If you are doing this by hand, 3.14 is usually acceptable for Pi. Once you have the are of both the square and the circle (the area of the circle should be smaller than that of the square), subtract the area of the circle from the area of the square. The difference is the area of those extra corners of the square that the circle does not occupy. It is actually quite simple. This demonstrates the danger of thinking in words rather than pictures.
