You can put this solution on YOUR website! The diagonal of the square is equal to the diameter of the circle.
So then the side of the square forms a right triangle,
You also know,
So,
Substituting,
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A square is inscribed in a circle of area 18pi.Find the side of the square.
-------------
Area = pi*r^2 = 18pi
r^2 = 18
---
The diagonal of the square, d, is the diameter.
side length = s
d^2 = s^2 + s^2
72 = 2s^2
s^2 = 36
s = 6
