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 \"2pi%2Ar=y\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"r=y%2F2pi\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=pi%2Ar%5E2=pi%2A%28y%2F2pi%29%5E2\"
\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.
