The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the area of the greatest square that can be inscribed in a circle with an area of \(61 \, m^2\), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Find the radius of the circle**: The area of a circle is given by the formula: \[ A = \pi r^2 \] Given that the area \(A = 61 \, m^2\), we can set up the equation: \[ \pi r^2 = 61 \] To find \(r^2\), we rearrange the equation: \[ r^2 = \frac{61}{\pi} \] 2. **Calculate \(r\)**: Using the approximate value of \(\pi \approx 3.14\), we can calculate \(r^2\): \[ r^2 = \frac{61}{3.14} \approx 19.48 \] Now, take the square root to find \(r\): \[ r \approx \sqrt{19.48} \approx 4.42 \, m \] 3. **Find the diameter of the circle**: The diameter \(d\) of the circle is twice the radius: \[ d = 2r \approx 2 \times 4.42 \approx 8.84 \, m \] 4. **Relate the diameter to the square**: The greatest square that can be inscribed in the circle has its diagonal equal to the diameter of the circle. Thus, the diagonal \(d\) of the square is: \[ d = s\sqrt{2} \] where \(s\) is the side length of the square. Setting the two expressions for the diagonal equal gives: \[ s\sqrt{2} = 8.84 \] 5. **Solve for the side length \(s\)**: Rearranging the equation to find \(s\): \[ s = \frac{8.84}{\sqrt{2}} \approx \frac{8.84}{1.414} \approx 6.25 \, m \] 6. **Calculate the area of the square**: The area \(A_s\) of the square is given by: \[ A_s = s^2 \approx (6.25)^2 \approx 39.06 \, m^2 \] ### Final Answer The area of the greatest square that can be constructed in the circle is approximately: \[ \boxed{39.06 \, m^2} \]
