the length of a leg on a 45-45-90 triangle given the hypotenuse is half the length of the hypotenuse times sqrt(2)

hypotenuse = 10

10/2 =5

so the answer should be 5sqrt(2), which I don't see as a choice

Compare the areas of the 2 different pieces of paper.

For the circle, the area is A=pi * r^2, which works out to A = pi(5 inches)^2.

For the square, the area is A = s^2, where is the side length, which here is 11 inches.

Finish these calculations, and then compare your two areas. Which is the larger?
