Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The maximum area of a rectangle that inscribedThe maximum area of a rectangle that inscribed in a circle is equal to the area of square whose diagonal length is 4 unit.Let the side of square be \(x\) unit. \( \begin{array}{ll} \therefore & (4)^{2}=x^{2}+x^{2} \\ \Rightarrow & 2 x^{2}=16 \\ \Rightarrow & x^{2}=8 \text { sq unit } \end{array} \) in a circle is equal to the area of square whose diagonal length is 4 unit.

Let the side of square be \(x\) unit. \( \begin{array}{ll} \therefore & (4)^{2}=x^{2}+x^{2} \\ \Rightarrow & 2 x^{2}=16 \\ \Rightarrow & x^{2}=8 \text { sq unit } \end{array} \)
