Detailed Solution

Let tangent of solve of slope m be y=mx±m21 . Then side length will  be 2m21m2+1 Also. Length of diagonal of square should be greater than or equal to  distance between points of tangency
 22m21m2+1m2(2+1)2
Side length  =2m21m2+1 (for smallest square)  =22+224+22=234
Side length of largest possible square is  2(as m)
