Is it true to say that area of a square inscribed in a circle of diameter p cm is p2 cm2? Why?


False

When the square is inscribed in the circle, the diameter of a circle is equal to the diagonal of a square but not the side of the square.


Let side of square = a


p2= a2 +a2


p2= 2a2


a2 = p2/2


Hence area of square = a2 = p2/2
