what do you know about a circle?

#

like what defines a circle

vocal crater
#

its round no angles 360 degree

deep pollen
#

yep

#

what is special about its radius that makes it round?

vocal crater
#

Idk

deep pollen
#

a circle is defined as the set of points that are equidistant from a center point

#

that distance they all share is called the radius

#

thats what makes a circle round

#

could we apply that to the problem?

#

for example, could we find the length of the diagonal of the square?

vocal crater
#

yes

deep pollen
#

how

vocal crater

#

ah ok

#

how could we apply it

vocal crater
#

If you inscribe a square within a circle the disgonal of the square is the diameter of the circle

deep pollen
#

that is true

#

here, we are looking at inscribing a circle with a quarter circle right

#

so we probably can't apply that specific one, although we can gain insight from it

#

Diagonal of the square = diameter of the circle =2 times the radius

deep pollen
#

ok, can you do something similar here?

vocal crater
#

i just don’t get this step

#

where did the 1.414 come from

#

sqr 2 is around 1.414
