What is the ratio of the areas of the incircle and circumcircle of a square? |
$1: \sqrt{2}$ $2: \sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{3}: \sqrt{2}$ $1: 2$ |
$1: 2$ |
Incircle area square : Circumcircle area of square In case of Incircle square, the diameter of circle will be side of square. Thus Area of Circle A1 = Π * Side^2 In case of Circumcircle square, the diameter of circle will be diagonal of square. $Diagonal^2 = Side^2 + Side^2$ Diagonal = sqrt(2*Side^2) = sqrt(2) * Side Thus area of circle A2 = Π * diagonal^2 = Π * (sqrt(2) * Side)^2 = 2 Π Side^2 A1:A2 = Π Side^2 : 2Π Side^2 = 1:2 The correct answer is Option (4) → $1: 2$ |
