I almost answered this wrong.
The square is in the circle.
So, you have to figure out the size of the diagonal measurement of the square.
Let's make the square 1 unit on a side. Diagonal is now the square root of 2.
Circle is square root of 2 in diameter, or 1/2^.5 in radius.
Area of circle is (1/2^.5)^2*Pi, area of square is 1.
So I guess the answer is that the ratio of the square to the circle is:
1 to ((1/2^.5)^2*Pi) which = 1 to Pi/2 or 2/Pi.
Or expressed as a ratio, maybe you would write it 2:Pi or 1:Pi/2 I don't remember :)
I think that's just what you said!
