the area of the largest rectangle that can be inscribed in a circle of the radius $\"5sqrt%282%29\"$ cm is
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The largest rectangle will be a square.
\n" ); document.write( " The hypotenuse of the square will be the diameter of the circle. 2* $\"5sqrt%282%29\"$ = $\"10sqrt%282%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let the side of the square = x
\n" ); document.write( "therefore using Pythagoras, a^2 + b^2 = c^2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%5E2\"$ = $\"%2810sqrt%282%29%29%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2s%5E2\"$ = 100(2)
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2\"$ = 100 sq/cm is the area of the square\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
