Question 923537: Hello am so grateful. How many 10 cm square tiles fit in a 13 cm diameter circle? Found 2 solutions by Edwin McCravy, Alan3354:Answer by Edwin McCravy(20055) (Show Source):
The question is:
How many of these:
will fit in one of these?:
We can easily see just by looking at the size of them that more than 1
of them but a lot less than 2 of them will fit in there.
The area of the 10cm by 10cm square is A = s2 = (10cm)2 = 100cm2.
The area of the 13cm diameter circle, which has radius cm, is
A = pr2 = = = = 132.7322896 cm2
Dividing 132.7322896 by 100 we get 1.327322896 of the squares will fit
inside the circle,
So not quite of those squares will fit in that circle.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you mean the tiles are 10 by 10 cms, the diagonal of the square is 10*sqrt(2) =~ 14.14
Unless there's some cutting, zero.
=============
If you meant the area of the tiles is 10 sq cm, post again.
