Find the area $ A $ of a square if circumcircle radius $R = 8 \sqrt{ 2 }$.
Answer
$A = 256$
Explanation
STEP 1: find side $ a $
To find side $ a $ use formula:
$$ R = \dfrac{ \sqrt{ 2 } \cdot a }{ 2 } $$After substituting $ R = 8 \sqrt{ 2 } $ we have:
$$ 8 \sqrt{ 2 } = \dfrac{ \sqrt{ 2 } \cdot a }{ 2 } $$ $$ \sqrt{ 2 } \cdot a = 8 \sqrt{ 2 } \cdot 2 $$ $$ \sqrt{ 2 } \cdot a = 16 \sqrt{ 2 } $$ $$ a = \dfrac{ 16 \sqrt{ 2 } }{ \sqrt{ 2 } } $$ $$ a = 16 $$STEP 2: find area $ A $
To find area $ A $ use formula:
$$ A = a^2 $$After substituting $ a = 16 $ we have:
$$ A = 16^2 $$ $$ A = 256 $$This page was created using
