    Start with the area of the square.

    Let s = side of square.

    So, A = s^2.

    A circle has a circumference.

    C = 2πr

    Perimeter of square = area of circle.

    4s = 2πr

    Solving for r, we get

    4s/2π = r

    2s/π = r

    Ratio:

    Area of square : area of circle

    s^2 = πr^2

    Above we solved for r. So, plug it in.

    s^2 : π (2s/π) ^2

    s^2 : π (4s^2) / π^2

    (s^2) / (4s^2) / π

    (s^2) * π / (4s^2)

    Answer: π/4
