A square fits exactly inside of a circle with each of it's vertices being on the circumference of the circle. The square has sides of length x cm. The area of the circle is 56cm^2. Work out x

Answer:

[tex]5.971\ cm[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of x is given below:

As we know that

[tex]Area = \pi r^2\\\\56 = \pi r^2\\\\r^2 = \frac{56}{\pi} \\\\r = \sqrt{\frac{56}{\pi} }[/tex]

= 4.22

Now the diameter of the square would be similar to the diameter of the circle

So,

[tex]x\sqrt{2} = 2\times r \\\\x = \frac{2\times r}{\sqrt{2} } \\\\= \frac{2\times 4.22}{\sqrt{2} } \\\\= 5.971\ cm[/tex]
