Q70 of 125 Page 38

The largest square that can be drawn in a circle has a side whose length is 0.707 times the diameter of the circle. By this rule, find the length of the side of such a square when the diameter of the circle is:

a) 14.35 cm


b) 8.63 cm

a) Diameter of the circle = 14.35cm


Length of side of square = 0.707 × 14.35 = 10.14 cm


b) Diameter of the circle = 8.63cm


Length of side of square = 0.707 × 8.63 = 6.101 cm
