Question

A circle has a diameter 11cm

A square has side length 7cm
Use Pythagoras' theorem to show that the square will fit inside the circle without touching the edge of the circle.

Answer 1

diagonal of square:

square root of 7 square + 7 square =9.899cm

it wont touch the edge of the circle since the diameter if the circle is 11, it is longer than the diagonal of the square
