Bread:
Area = π R²

16 in² = π R²

R² = 16 in² / π

The radius of the bun = √(16 in² / π) = 2.257 inches

-- The meat :
Area = side²

16 in² = side²

Side = √16 in² = 4 inches

Diagonal of the square = 4 √2 = 5.657 inches

1/2 of the burgerdiagonal = 2.828 inches .

If the meat is centered on the bun, then the corner of the burger
extends

(2.828 - 2.257) = 0.57 inch

rounded to the nearest hundredth inch.
