Question 456853: how do you find the area of a square inscribed in a circle when the only given information is the radius of the circle? Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The radii are going to touch the 4 corners of the square forming 4 isosceles right triangles, with the sides of the squares as the hypotenuses of the triangles. Just calculate the length of one side of the square and square it and you have the area of the square.
