Algebra.Com's Answer #71993 by edjones(8007) You can put this solution on YOUR website! let perimeter of a square=x \n" ); document.write( "then each side is x/4 and the area A=(x/4)^2=x^2/16 \n" ); document.write( "let circle circumference=y \n" ); document.write( "so \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "the area of a circle is the green line in the graph. The area of a circle is larger than the area of a square for all measurements perimeter and circumference. They approach each other as they approach zero. \n" ); document.write( "Ed \n" ); document.write( " |
