square inside a circle and i don't have the book
\n" ); document.write( "if the area of the square is 144 find the area of the circle
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "A side of the square is sqrt(144) = 12
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "The diagonal of the square is 12sqrt(2)
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "The diagonal is the diameter of the circle.
\n" ); document.write( "(1/2) of the diagonal is the radius = 6sqrt(2)
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore the area of the circle = (pi)(6sqrt(2))^2 = 72pi
\n" ); document.write( "===========================
