If area of the given circle is \( \Large 100 \pi \) square cm, then side of the square inscribed in the circle is
Correct Answer: |
B) \( \Large 10\sqrt{2}\ cm \) |

Description for Correct answer:
If r is the radius of the circle, then
area of the circle = \( \Large \pi r^{2} = 100 \pi cm^{2} \)
=> \( \Large r^{2} = 100 \) ...(i)
=> \( \Large r = 10 cm \)
From the given figure,
\( \Large x^{2}+x^{2}=r^{2} \)
=> \( \Large 2x^{2}=r^{2} \) ...(ii)
side of the square = 2x
=\( \Large 2\sqrt{\frac{r^{2}}{2}}=\sqrt{2}r=10\sqrt{2} cm \)
