You can put this solution on YOUR website! An artist wants to place a piece of round glass in a square.
If the perimeter of the square is 40 inches.
What is the area of the largest circular piece?

This would be very close to the diameter of the round piece of glass
therefore the radius would be 5 inches
A =
A ~ 78.5, round it down, round it up and it would not fit.
