if radius is 14, and the radius is exactly 1/2 of the length of one side of the square, then the squares dimensions are (d^2)= 28*28=784
the area of the circle is

approx
by the way pi doesnt even equal (22/7) (22/7)=3.142857 repeating pi=3.1415926535897932384.....doesnt repeat
and the answers differ
196*3.1415=615.7522 this is correct
196*3.1428=615.9888 this is wrong
the area of the circle is less than the area of the square by 168.2478

the cirlce with a radius 14 is inscribed in a square. how would you compare the area of the square to the area of the circle? Use pi=22/7
--------------------
Draw the picture and you will see the diameter of the circle
equals a side of the square.
---
diameter = 14
radius = 7
---
Area of square = 14^2
------
Area of circle = ((22/7)(7^2) = 22*7
---
Comparing area of square to area of circle:
[14^2]/[22*7] = 1.2727
========================
area of square = 1.2727*area of circle
======================================
