All tangents to the circle are congruent and form a square. the perimeter of square aceg is 24 cm. what is the length of line segment bc? 2 cm 3 cm 6 cm 8 cm

answer: length of   line segment bc = 6cm.

step-by-step explanation:

by the given problem   a circle   is inscribed inside a square abcd.

perimeter of a square = 24 cm =4×sides.

to find sides of square s= 24/ 4 = 6 cm.

∴the side of a square= 6 cm= length of bc as it is a side of square.

which is equals to the diameter of the   circle inside the square.

radius of circle=1/2 of diameter=6/2 = 3 cm.

now by the figure diagonal of square =d

is given by pythagoras theorem  

∴area of the square =

area of the circle=

area of the spaces between the circle and square = 36 - 28.26 = 7.74 square cm
