You do know you can't fit a perfect circle in a square, right?

So then it's not possible to get a correct answer.

it is but it has to be an approximate area.

The diameter has to be smaller than half of the square's side

I still don't see how you're getting the area...

Well what i meant was the area of the square minus the area of the circle inside it

I'm not sure if I can help without seeing the exact problem you are trying to solve. Maybe if you tell me the purpose of this?

A) The square is too large to contain a perfect circle.
B) Even if you can calculate the area, you won't get an exact answer because there will always be a little bit of the square left out.
C) There aren't many uses in finding the approximate area of the circle inside a square.

Although... You could calculate it like this:
Square with side length L
Radius r = L/2 - (sqrt(5)/4 * L)
Area of square A = L^2
Area of circle B = Pi * r^2
The approximate area is: A-B

The equation I gave you is the radius of the circle.
