1. Here is square ABCD with diagonal BD drawn:[br][br] a. Construct a circle centered at A with radius AD.[br][br] b. Construct a circle centered at C with radius CD.[br][br] c. Draw the diagonal AC.
Write a conjecture about the relationship between the diagonals BD and AC.
d. Label the intersection of the diagonals as point E. [br](To do this, select the point and use the Style Bar to rename it.) [br]Then construct a circle with center at E and radius EB.
How are the diagonals related to the circle?
Use the tools in the applet to construct a square that fits perfectly outside the circle so that the circle is inscribed in the square.
How do the areas of these two squares compare?
