The inscribed square has a diagonal equal to 2 times the radius ( or the diameter) of the circle and this is 2*6 = 12.
If a square has a diagonal of 12, then you can find the length of its sides by using the Pythagorean theorem:
Where c is the diagonal and, for a square, the two sides are equal and a = b, so...
Substitute c = 12 (the diameter of the circle).
Divide both sides by 2.
The area of the square with sides equal to a is:
Substitute
sq.units.
