You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x, side of square
r, radius of given circle
2r, diameter of given circle

x%5E2=pi%2Ar%5E2
x%5E2=pi%2A%28d%2F2%29%5E2
x=sqrt%28pi%2A%28d%2F2%29%5E2%29
highlight_green%28x=%28d%2F2%29sqrt%28pi%29%29

You are given that d=875%2Ayards.
x=%28875%2F2%29sqrt%28pi%29-------compute this.
