Algebra.Com's Answer #636212 by Fombitz(32388)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's first solve for the largest square that can be cut from a circle of radius r. \n" ); document.write( "The diameter of the circle becomes the diagonal of the square so you can solve for the side of the square since the diagonal is (using the Pythagorean theorem), \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "So to make a cube, use that same distance s. \n" ); document.write( "So a diagonal for a cube of side s would be, \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
