Question 947296: What is the diameter of a circle that is enclosed in a square with lengths of 10 cm.?
Answer by josgarithmetic(39618)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Draw a square, side length 10 cm, and INSCRIBE a circle. This circle and square touch in four points, and each of these points is the center of a side of the square. The distance from one of these points to the point on an opposite side is ALSO 10 cm, and forms a diameter of the circle.
The diameter of this circle is 10 cm.
You just need to draw a picture of the description to see this.
