How do you find the area of a circle with a square (with side length of 2) inside of it? \n" ); document.write( "Draw the picture and label the sides of the square. \n" ); document.write( "------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Use Pythagoras: diagonal = sqrt(2^2+2^2)=sqrt8 = 2sqrt2 \n" ); document.write( "So, the diagonal of the square is 2sqrt2. \n" ); document.write( "-------------------- \n" ); document.write( "That diagonal is the diameter of the circle. \n" ); document.write( "The area of the circle is pi* r^2. \n" ); document.write( "Area = pi* [(2sqrt2)/2]^2 \n" ); document.write( "Area = pi*2 \n" ); document.write( "Area of the circle is 2pi \n" ); document.write( " |
