Check the picture below.
let's recall that the midsegment of a triangle is the segment that's half-way to both endsides and is at the same time parallel to the 3rd side, is also half the length of the parallel side, so-called the base.
so, for example, we know L, M and N are midpoints to each segment, that means that LM is a midsegment and parallel to PR and also half the length of PR, same is true for LN and MN.
Answer:
The side of the square is 5.971 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
If the square fits the circle exactly, then its diagonal is equal to the diameter of the circle. Since the side of the square has a length of cm, then it's diagonal have the length of
cm. Using the circle's area we can find the diagonal of the square, as shown below:
Since the diameter of the circle is the same as the diagonal of the square, then:
The side of the square is 5.971 cm
