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 side

diameter = sq rt (s^2 + s^2).

2 inches = sq rt (2 s^2)

2 inches - (sq rt 2) x s

2 inches = 1.414 s

and s = 1.414

How can you find minimum and maximum diameters?

-- Every circle has a diameter of some size. -- All of the diameters that you can draw in the same circle are the same size. -- The smaller the circle is, the smaller its diameter is. There's no minimum size. -- The larger the circle is, the larger its diameter is. There's no maximum size.

How many 16inch by 16 inch tiles would cover a 11ft diameter circle?

16x16 inch tiles are square. If you place them on a circle, the edges will hang off, so we first need to find the size of the largest square that will fit in the circle. The largest square can be made of four isosceles triangles whose equal sides are equal to the length of the radius, so the area of the contained square is 2r2. An 11-foot diameter circle has a radius of 5.5 feet, so the square has an area of 2(5.5)2 = 60.5 square feet, or 60.5 * 122 square inches = 8712 square inches. The 16x16 tiles are 256 square inches, so 8712 / 256 = 34.03125 tiles that fit completely in the circle.
