Answer:

  • 2√2/3

Explanation:

Area of the square is 9 in², so side of the square is:

  • a = √9 = 3 in

The diagonal of the square is the diameter of the circle.

  • d = 3√2

Circumference of circle:

  • C = πd = 3√2π

Area of circle:

  • A = πd²/4 = 18π/4 = 9/2π

Ratio of circumference to area:

  • C/A = 3√2π / (9/2π) = 2√2/3
