Question 298809
The area of a square = the length of one side squared or {{{A = L^2}}}
Take the square root of both sides to find the length of the side
{{{sqrt(256) = L}}}
{{{16 = L}}}
Note that all 4 sides are the same in a square. So the radius of the circle will be half of the length of the square.
R = 8in
The area of a circle: {{{A = pi*R^2}}}
Area of the circle: {{{A = pi*8^2}}}
Area of the circle: {{{highlight(A = 201in^2)}}}
