What is the area of the largest square which can be inscribed in a circle of radius 28 cm? |
3136 cm2 1578 cm2 784 cm2 196 cm2 |
1578 cm2 |
We have, Radius of circle = 28cm We know that the diagonal of the square which can be inscribed in a circle is equal to the diameter of the circle So, the diagonal of square = 28 × 2 = 56 cm = \(\sqrt {2}\) × a = 56 = a = 28\(\sqrt {2}\) So, the area of square = a2 = (28\(\sqrt {3}\))2 = 1568 cm2 |
