draw a square of side 6cm circumscribe a circle about that square and then inscribe a circle in the same square.measure the radii of these two circle.
:
The diameter of the inner circle will be 6 cm, the radius will be 3cm
The diameter of the outer circle will be the hypotenuse of the square
d = Sqrt%286%5E2+%2B+6%5E2%29
d = 8.48523
r = 8.48523/2
r = 4.24 cm radius of the outer circle
