Find the area of the circle that can be inscribed in a square of side $6\ cm$.


Given: Circle that can be inscribed in a square of side $6\ cm$.

To do: To find the area of the circle.

Solution: 

As shown in the figure, side of the square $AB=BC=CD=DA=6\ cm$



$XY$ is the diameter of the circle, inscribed in the square $ABCD$

$\therefore PR=$side of the square$=6\ cm$

$\therefore Radius=\frac{6}{2}=3$

Area $=\pi r^2$

$=\frac{22}{7}\times 3^2$

$=\frac{22}{7}\times 9$

$\therefore$ Area of circle$=28.28\ cm^2$
