The diameter length of the circle would be the same as the side length of the square. If a is the side of the square, then the radius is a/2, and the area of the circle would be (1/4)(pi)(a^2).

What is the maximum size square that will fit into a 2 inch circle?

The square's sides will be the sqrt 2 = about 1.414 inches.(NOTE that this only happens when the circle is 2 inches in diameter. For a circle 3 inches in diameter, the diagonal measurement 3 = (sq rt 2) s and s = about 2.122 inches, not the square root of 3)The largest square will have a DIAGONAL the same length as the DIAMETER of the circle. This is clear when you imagine that it is the largest dimension of any square. With the diagonal length being the hypotenuse of the two right triangles that form the square, the diagonal length equals the square root of the sum of the squares (of the two sides of the square)diagonal = (sq rt 2) x sidediameter = sq rt (s^2 + s^2).2 inches = sq rt (2 s^2)2 inches - (sq rt 2) x s2 inches = 1.414 sand s = 1.414


What is the circumference of a square?

Circumference refers to the distance around the outside of a circle. The distance around a square is its perimeter, which is the sum of the lengths of the four sides. Since all sides of a square are of the same length, the perimeter of a square is also four times the length of one side.

Find the area of the largest square incribed in a circle?

A circle of radius, r, has area pi r2. The largest square inside it is made up of four isosceles triangles whose equal sides are of length, r, and thus has area 1/2 r2. Thus the area of the contained square is 2 r2.


How many sides to a circle?

This can be a tricky question. When speaking of polygons like a square or trapezoid, "sides" refers to linear, perimeter edges, with a square having four. However, if it refers to boundaries such as inside and outside, a circle has an interior (inside) and exterior (outside) and has 2 sides by that reference.

Can you fit a circle with a circumference of 30 inches inside a square with an area of 100 inches squared?

Yes because the diameter of the circle is less than the sides of the square.


If a circle is placed inside an 800ft squared area what is the radius of the circle?

Well, since the circle is inside the square, the edges of the square define the limits of the circle. Since we have a square, the length of each side is the square root of 800ft. The radius of the circle is half the length of the sides. Therefore, the answer is half of (the square root of 800), which makes for an ugly radius value of "14.142135623730950488016887242097" ft


Is a circle a 2 dimensional square?

What is the raduis of a circle that is inside a square with an area of 400 cm?

Assuming the circle is tangent to the sides of the square, then the edges of the circle meet the square at the midpoint on each of the four sides. So the diameter of the circle is the same as the length of a side of the square. So all you need to do is find the length from the total area by taking the square root of the area (since A = s2), which gives you the diameter, then halve it to get the radius.
