It's not a rectangle but a square which occupies the same area as the rectangle.So the radius of the circle should be in line with it but if the small square touches the circle.Adarsh said:See that's wrong. The diagonal of the small rectangle is not in line with the diagonal of the big square.
Well, I don't know what you've done then. It's a bit confusing to follow through, there must be an error somewhere.AbBh said:It's not a rectangle but a square which occupies the same area as the rectangle.So the radius of the circle should be in line with it but if the small square touches the circle.
This equation has two roots 1 and 5.Satish555 said:but can anyone explain to me the logic behing this: " Since the side (x-1) can't be zero, the value for x has to be 5 cm."
AbBh said:This equation has two roots 1 and 5.
Now as the radius of the circle cant be 1cm it has to be 5 cm.
Dont again tell that its a circle becos its definitely not!
