Question 1064459
Will plans to use a circular cross section of wood to make a square table.
 The cross section has a circumference of 336 cm.
 To the nearest centimeter, what is the side length of the largest square that he can cut from it? 
:
If you draw this out you can see that the diameter is the hypotenuse of the inscribed square
:
Find the diameter from the circumference: {{{336/pi}}} = 106.95 cm
:
Let s = the side of the square
s^2 + s^2 = 106.95^2
2s^2 = 11438.3
divide by 2
s^2 = 5719.15
s = {{{sqrt(5719.3)}}}
s = 75.62 ~ 76cm
