Question 597752: There is a circular garden with a radius of 12 feet. If all the fencing from the circular garden was used to enclose a square garden, what would be the length of each side of the square garden to the nearest whole number?
I already found the area of the circle, I need help finding the length of the square garden.

this is not an area problem

"If all the fencing from the circular garden was used to enclose a square garden"

the perimeter of the square is equal to the circumference of the circle

4x = 12 * 2 * pi
