What is "it"? Are the nested circles related to the square in some particular manner?Whepler said:
Do you perhaps mean that "the square has an area of 2500 square meters"?Whepler said:
Do you perhaps mean "the radius OF the smaller circle"?Whepler said:
Were there no instructions for this exercise? (You haven't actually asked a question, so even if we had any way of guessing what sort of picture you're looking at, we still have no idea what you're supposed to be doing with it.)
Please reply with clarification, keeping in mind that we haven't been in your classroom and cannot see your textbook. Thank you.

It is easy to conclude that one possibile interpretation of your words is a square with an inscribed circle and a circumscribed circle.
You give two pieces of numerical information regarding the figure but do not spell out what you are looking for.
Peace!

Unfortunately, students often prove almost endlessly creative. A given interpretation ("translation"?) might be "obvious" to all the tutors, and yet still turn out to be entirely wrong. :shock:TchrWill said:
I've been yelled at by waaaaaay too many students (for having guessed wrong) to have any confidence in our translation attempts, even when we have a consensus. I'll wait for clarification. :wink:
