Find the area of the largest square contained by a circle of radius r = 1cm. Explain your answer and justify that it is correct.

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

2 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

A square is inscribed in a circle whose radius is r = 1 cm

Therefore, the diameter of the circle is 2 r = 2 x 1

= 2 cm.

So the diagonal of the square is 2r.

Using the Pythagoras theorem, we find each of the side of the triangle is $r \sqrt 2$ .

Therefore, the area of the square is given by $\text{(side)}^2$

= $(r\sqrt 2)^2$

$= 2 r^2$

$= 2 (1)^2$

$=2 \ cm^2$

Hence the area of the largest square that is contained by a circle of radius 1 cm is 2 cm square.
