The area of a square = the length of one side squared or \"A+=+L%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Take the square root of both sides to find the length of the side
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28256%29+=+L\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"16+=+L\"
\n" ); document.write( "Note that all 4 sides are the same in a square. So the radius of the circle will be half of the length of the square.
\n" ); document.write( "R = 8in
\n" ); document.write( "The area of a circle: \"A+=+pi%2AR%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Area of the circle: \"A+=+pi%2A8%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Area of the circle: \"highlight%28A+=+201in%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
