You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perimeter of square = 4s, where s is the length of a side :
 Perimeter of a circle = 2*pi*r, where pi=(22/7) and r is the radius, then
 :
 4s = 2*pi*r
 :
 s = (pi*r) / 2
 :
 Area of square is s^2 and Area of circle is pi*r^2, then
 :
 (pi*r^2) / ((pi*r /2))^2 = (pi*r^2) / ((pi^2 * r^2)/4) =
 :
 ((pi*r^2) * 4) / (pi^2 * r^2) = 4 / pi = (4 * 7) / 22 = 28 / 22 = 14 / 11
 :
 ****************************************************************
 Ratio of Area of the circle to the Area of the square is 4 / pi
 which is  14 / 11
