The diagonal of the square is the radius of the circle.
\n" ); document.write( "For a square the diagonal (L) is,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=sqrt%282%29%2As\"$
\n" ); document.write( "so then
\n" ); document.write( " $\"R=sqrt%282%29%2As\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A_circle=pi%2AR%5E2=pi%2A2%2As%5E2=2%2Api%2As%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A_square=s%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So then the ratio of the area of the circle to the area of the square is $\"2%2Api\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
