Question

A square is circumscribed about a circle. What is the ratio of the area of the circle to the area of the square?

Answer 1

What is the area of the circle?

Answer 2

Pi( k^2)

Answer 3

That is supposed to be an x so yes. The area of the circle is pix^2

Answer 4

What is the area of the square?

Answer 5

4x?

Answer 6

I want to include a picture of the problem but i am new and i dont know how to include it.

Answer 7

How do you find the area of a square?

Answer 8

The formula is (2r)^2

Answer 9

What is 2x times 2x?

Answer 10

Usually we say A=s^2 for squares

Answer 11

s is a side. What's the length of a side of the square?

Answer 12

The asker is gone. Guess we are the only ones left interested in this problem.

Answer 13

lol

Answer 14

Wait i got confused

Answer 15

@Jenny17 If you want to attach your problem, you need to click on "Attac File" beneath the reply box.

Answer 16

*Attach File

Answer 17

I dont have that button

Answer 18

Okay that depends on what device you're using. I know that when using my iPad I can't attach a file. You need to use a laptop or a desktop, to use the Attach File button.

Answer 19

Well i am using in on an ipad

Answer 20

Just as I told you. Do you have a desktop or a laptop nearby?

Answer 21

@Mertsj why did you do 2x times 2x?

Answer 22

@calculusxy i dont have access to one right now

Answer 23

Because the side of the square is 2x and you find the area of the square by multiplying side times side which is 2x times 2x

Answer 24

That's fine. As long you get the basics of the problem @Jenny17

Answer 25

How about this way to help you with the problem. Why don't you seperately find the area of the circle and the square and then find the ratios of the area.

Answer 26

So do we write down 4x or 2x ^2

Answer 27

2x times 2x = 4x^2

Answer 28

So write down 4x^2

Answer 29

Area of a square= \[s^{2}\] (side squared)

Answer 30

I know what the answer is but i just dont know how to do it.
