Frequently Asked Questions

How is the largest square inside a circle found?

The largest square that fits inside a circle has its diagonal equal to the circle diameter, so its side length equals the radius times the square root of 2.

What is the side length of the largest square inside a circle with a 5 unit radius?

A circle with a radius of 5 fits a square with a side length of about 7.07 units, and an area of 50 square units.

Why does the square area come out to exactly twice the radius squared?

Since the side length equals the radius times the square root of 2, squaring that side gives 2 times the radius squared, a clean simplification of the diagonal relationship.
