• We’re trying to inscribe a square inside of a circle • If we bisect the square, we get two triangles with right angles • Circle diameter = 1.4m = hypothenuse of triangles = 2 * radius • 2r = r * sqrt(2) + r * sqrt(2) • We want to know the value of r * sqrt(2) is since that’s one of the sides of the inscribed square • (0.7) * sqrt(2) = 0.99 m = side of inscribed square • 0.99m < 1 m side • So we are just barely not able to cut a 1m sided square in a circle piece of tin with 1.4m diameter
