this really isnt that bad looks like...what??...but if u find the radius of the circle double it to make the diameter and then square the diameter u will get the area of a square that would enclose the circle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so u have a triangle with 2 sides so u need to find the 3rd side using \"A%5E2%2BB%5E2=C%5E2\" according to the pic OC is the hypotenus we want to find OB
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%5E2%2B60%5E2=65%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%5E2%2B3600=4225\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%5E2=4225-3600\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28A%5E2%29=sqrt%28625%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=25=OB\"
\n" ); document.write( "so now the radius of the circle is 25 double it and then 2 it to find the area
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2825%2A2%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2850%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%282500%29\"is the area of the square.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
