The sides of this inscribed square will be 2√2. So the perimeter will be four times this = 8√2

Thanks. I just type it in. I don't know any other ways to indicate square roots.

Well on the forum calc you would just type   sqrt(8)    or whatever :)

But that is okay you have answered my question. :)  Thanks Zac

You should start trying to learn GeoGebra, although you are a master with paint :)
