answer:

5.002 inches

step-by-step explanation:

  • find the diameter of the circle
  • the diameter is the side length of the square since the sides of it are touching the circle

c = 2Ï€r

  • c stands for circumference
  • Ï€ stands for pi (or 3.14)
  • r stands for radius

- plug in the values given to find the diameter

c = 2Ï€r

15.71 = 2(3.14)r

15.71 = 6.28r

r = 2.501 (rounded or estimated)

  • now that we have the radius, we can find the diameter by multiplying by 2, since diameter is two times bigger than the radius

diameter = 5.002 (estimated)

  • now, that will be the side length because the diameter = the side length
