Detailed Solution

It is given that the radius of a circle is r=1  .
We have to find the area of the largest possible square that can be inscribed in a circle.
The largest possible square is inscribed in a circle having circumference  2pi units. The area of the square in the square units isThe area of a circle can be expressed as A=π r 2  , where r   is the radius of a circle.
Then, diameter of the circle is,
r= d 2 d=2r d=2 1 d=2   
 Suppose the side of the square be a   . So, the diagonal of the square is,  d= a 2 + a 2 d= 2 a 2 d= 2 a   
Since, the largest possible square inscribed in a circle have diagonal is equal to the diameter of circle. So,  2 a=2 a= 2    
 So, the area of the square is,  Question ImageThe area is 2 sq. units.
Therefore, the correct option is 1.
