Thompson · Answer 1

The correct answer for this item is letter "A. The square is circumscribed about the circle" which means that the square is outside of the circle with its sides touching the circle once. Therefore, letter "E. The circle is tangent to each side of the squares" is also correct.

Neveah Fleming · Answer 2

E. The circle is tangent to each side of the square since they meet at right angles.
