What is the ratio of the inradius and circumradius of a square?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
We know that,
Diagonal of the square = \(\sqrt {2}\)side
The inradius of the square = \(\frac{side}{ 2}\)
and the circumradius of the square = \(\frac{Diagonal}{2}\)
So, the ratio of the inradius and circumradius of a square = \(\frac{side}{ \sqrt {2} }\) : \(\frac{Diagonal}{2}\)
= \(\frac{side}{ 2 }\) : \(\frac{\sqrt {2}side}{2}\)
= 1 : \(\sqrt {2}\)
