The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the side of a square to the radius of a circle when both have the same area. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Variables**: Let the side of the square be \( A \) and the radius of the circle be \( r \). 2. **Write the Area Formulas**: - The area of the square is given by: \[ \text{Area of square} = A^2 \] - The area of the circle is given by: \[ \text{Area of circle} = \pi r^2 \] 3. **Set the Areas Equal**: Since the area of the square is equal to the area of the circle, we can write: \[ A^2 = \pi r^2 \] 4. **Rearrange the Equation**: To find the ratio \( \frac{A}{r} \), we can rearrange the equation: \[ \frac{A^2}{r^2} = \pi \] 5. **Take the Square Root**: Taking the square root of both sides gives: \[ \frac{A}{r} = \sqrt{\pi} \] 6. **Express the Ratio**: This means that the ratio of the side of the square to the radius of the circle is: \[ \frac{A}{r} = \sqrt{\pi} : 1 \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the ratio of the side of the square to the radius of the circle is \( \sqrt{\pi} : 1 \).
