Hello,
I am asked to find the area of a circle inscribed inside of a square.
Mind giving me a helping hand?

oh nice

#

what was your method

#

The center of the square to the bottom left is r+r*sqrt(2)

#

since you can form a square with the radi as the sides

#

and since its a square, just set the expression equal to 12 sqrt(2)

#

and then you have the radius

#

then you can find the area from there

$r\sqrt{2} + r + 12\sqrt{2} = 24\sqrt{2}$
