Answer:

The radius of the circle required is 5 inches

Explanation:

we know that

The diagonal of the square is the diameter of the circle

The length side of the square is half the apothem

Let

a ----> the apothem

r ---> the radius of the circle (half the diagonal of the square)

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

r^2=a^2+a^2

we have

$a=3.536\ in$

substitute

r^2=3.536^2+3.536^2

$r^2=25\\r=5\ in$
