what is the ratio of two circles circumferences if one inscribes a square and the other circumscribes the same square.
-------------------------------
Let the square have side = x
Then the diameter is sqrt(2)x
------------------------------
Inscribed circle DATA:
diameter = s
Circum = pi*s
----------------------
Circumscribed circle DATA:
diameter = sqrt(2)s
Circum = pi*sqrt(2)s
------------------------------
Ratio of inscribed circum to circumscribed circum:
pi*s/pisqrt(s) = s:sqrt(2)s or 1:sqrt(2)
