Since, a circle is inscribed in a square, it means that the side of a square is equal to the diameter of a circle.

Since, the perimeter of a square is 32 inches.

A perimeter is a path that surrounds the two dimensional shape.

Perimeter of square is given by 

side 

side = 8 inches.

Since, side of a square = diameter of a circle

Therefore, diameter of a circle = 8 inches.

radius of a circle =  , where d is the diameter

radius =  = 4 inches.

The perimeter of a circle is termed as Circumference.

 

You can solve from here.
