    Inscribed means drawn inside with corners touching sides of circle

    we know that r=3√2

    if we double that we get the diameter of 6√2

    this also is the diagonal of the square

    we now have pythagoran theorem

    the 2 legs are equal measure since it is a square

    hypotonuse=diangoal of square

    a^2+b^2=c^2

    a=b

    2a^2=c^2

    2a^2 = (6 √2) ^2

    2a^2=72

    divide both sides by 2

    a^2=36

    sqrt both sides

    a=6

    the legnth of one side is 6

    area=side^2

    area=6^2

    area=36

    the area is 36 square units
