In figure, a square is inscribed in a circle of diameter d and another square is circumscribing the circle. Is the area of the outer square four times the
area of the inner square? Give reason for your answer.
False
Given diameter of circle is $d$.
$\therefore$ Diagonal of inner square $=$ Diameter of circle $=\mathrm{d}$
Let side of inner square EFGH be $\mathrm{x}$.
$\therefore$ In right angled $\triangle \mathrm{EFG}$,
$E G^{2}=E F^{2}+F G^{2}$ [by Pythagoras theorem]
$\Rightarrow \quad d^{2}=x^{2}+x^{2}$
$\Rightarrow \quad d^{2}=2 x^{2} \Rightarrow x^{2}=\frac{d^{2}}{2}$
$\therefore \quad$ Area of inner square $E F G H=(\text { Side })^{2}=x^{2}=\frac{d^{2}}{2}$
But side of the outer square ABCS = Diameter of circle = d
∴ Area of outer square = d2
Hence, area of outer square is not equal to four times the area of the inner square.
