A circular table has a diameter of 48 inches. A carpenter is remaking it into a square table. To the nearest tenth of an inch, what is the greatest possible side length of the square table?

If the diameter of the circle is 48 the maximum diagonal of the square is 48.

The diagonal of the square is:

d=√x^2+x^2

d=√2x^2 so

48=x√2

x=48/√2 in

x≈33.9 in
