Question:

What is the area of the largest square which can be inscribed in a circle of radius 28 cm?

Options:

3136 cm2

1578 cm2

784 cm2

196 cm2

Correct Answer:

1578 cm2

Explanation:

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
