Answer:

Radius of circle = 4.69 meters

Explanation:

From the figure 1 attached, the circle is circumscribed inside a square (the community wall)

From the figure 1,

C = center of circle

l = length of either side of the square

R = radius of circle

It is given that area of the square = 88 meters ^2

Area if square l^2

Length of either side of the square =√88= 9.38m

Length of either side of the square = diameter of the circle.

Diameter of circle = 9.38 meters

Radius of the circle = diameter of circle/2

= 4.69 meters
