Question:

What is the area of the largest square which can be inscribed in a circle of radius 14 cm? Take ($π=\frac{22}{7}$)

Options:

392 cm2

484 cm2

196 cm2

784 cm2

Correct Answer:

392 cm2

Explanation:

We know that,

Area of the square = (side)2

We have,

Diameter of the circle = Diagonal of the square

Radius = 14 cm

We know,

Diameter of the circle = Diagonal of the square

= Diagonal of the square = 28 cm

= Side × \(\sqrt {2}\) = 28

= Side = 14\(\sqrt {2}\) cm

Area of the square = (side)2 = (14\(\sqrt {2}\))2 = 392 cm2.
