A square inside a circle inside a square 2016-11-13
From Jeff:
Greetings,

I came across a question from a textbook from years ago. I've been trying to solve it, but am not sure if my approach is correct.

There are 2 squares (1 inner, 1 outer) & 1 circle.

The inner square is the largest square that will fit inside the circle. It has an area of 1 unit.

The circle is the biggest that will fit in the outer square.

What is the area of the outer square?
