Correct answer: A
- Find the radius of the incircle of the equilateral triangle
For an equilateral triangle of side , the inradius is
So,
- Square inscribed in the circle
A square inscribed in a circle has its diagonal equal to the diameter of the circle.
Diameter of the circle:
Let the side of the square be . Then
Hence,
- Find area and perimeter of the square
Area:
Perimeter:
- Compute
Therefore,
- Compare with options
Thus the correct option is:
which is Option A.
- Verification with stored answer
Stored correct answer: A
Our derived answer is also A.
