The largest radius of the circle that can fit inside the given square is 1.25 meters

Explanation:

Step 1 :

Given,

the side of the square = 2.5 meters

We need to determine the largest radius of the circle that can fit inside this square

Step 2 :

The diameter of the largest circle that can fit inside a square will be equal to length of given square's side.

So here the largest diameter will be 2.5 meters

Therefore the radius = diameter ÷ 2 = 2.5 ÷ 2 = 1.25 meters

Step 3 :

Answer :

The largest radius of the circle that can fit inside the given square is 1.25 meters
