Question from mae, a student: what are the formulas on getting the area of the square outside an inscribed circular region? |
Hi Mae,
The area of a rectangle is the length times the width. In a square the length and width are equal so the area of a square is the length times itself.
Suppose the radius of the circle is r.
What is the length of a side of the square?
