Let the radius of the circle and
the semicircle by r.
Let ABCD be the square inscribed in the
semicircle.
OB2 = OC2 + BC2
r2 =
+ x2
r2 =
x2
\ The area of the square = x2 =
r2.

Diagonal of the square = 2r = side
= 2r.
Side of the
square EFGH =
r.
Area of the
square = 2r2.
The ratio
of the area of the square ABCD to the area of the square EFGH =
r2 : 2r2
= 2 : 5 Choice
