The correct Answer is:
To find the side of a square inscribed in a circle with a circumference of 100 cm, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the radius of the circle The formula for the circumference \( C \) of a circle is given by: \[ C = 2\pi r \] where \( r \) is the radius of the circle. We can rearrange this formula to solve for \( r \): \[ r = \frac{C}{2\pi} \] Substituting the given circumference: \[ r = \frac{100}{2\pi} = \frac{50}{\pi} \text{ cm} \] ### Step 2: Relate the radius to the side of the inscribed square The diagonal \( d \) of the inscribed square is equal to the diameter of the circle. The diameter \( D \) can be calculated as: \[ D = 2r \] Substituting the value of \( r \): \[ D = 2 \times \frac{50}{\pi} = \frac{100}{\pi} \text{ cm} \] ### Step 3: Use the relationship between the side of the square and its diagonal For a square with side length \( s \), the relationship between the side length and the diagonal is given by: \[ d = s\sqrt{2} \] Setting the diagonal equal to the diameter of the circle: \[ s\sqrt{2} = \frac{100}{\pi} \] ### Step 4: Solve for the side length \( s \) To find \( s \), we can rearrange the equation: \[ s = \frac{100}{\pi\sqrt{2}} \] ### Final Step: Simplify the expression This gives us the side length of the inscribed square: \[ s = \frac{100}{\pi\sqrt{2}} \text{ cm} \] ### Summary The side of the square inscribed in the circle is: \[ s = \frac{100}{\pi\sqrt{2}} \text{ cm} \]
