perimeter ?

a circle whose area is 2/pie.a rectangle inside the circle.then find the parameter of that rectangle.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

its 8/pie.....i calculated so..

yeah $\Large \frac{8}{\pi}$ is correct

I think many answers are possible. It's 8/π only when the rectangle is a square, as in a rectangle other than the square the angle made by the two radii by either the length or breadth is not 90 degrees so we can't apply pythagoras theorem here.

@Bhargav Das – Yeah I took the rectangle to be a square.

how please explain

I took the rectangle as a square. If that's not the case, then the problem is lacking some information i guess.

If we consider the rectangle to be a square, then here goes the solution: We have, $\large \pi\times r^2=\large \frac{2}{\pi} \implies \boxed {r=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\pi}}$ Now, let the side of square be $x$ . Then $\large 2\times x^2=\large \frac{8}{\pi^2} \implies x=\large \frac{2}{\pi}$ This means the perimeter is $\large 4\times \large \frac{2}{\pi}=\large \boxed {\boxed{\frac{8}{\pi}}}$

I think 8/π is right answer either it is square or rectangle. because in both case both diagonal will be same, because it is diameter of circle. So even by changing length and width of the rectangle parameter will be same in all case. and that can be find by assuming that rectangle as a square..
