When constructing an inscribed square, what step comes after both diameters of the circle have been created? Connect every other intersection of an arc and the circle with a segment. Connect the intersections of the diameters and the circle with a segment. Connect every intersection of an arc and the circle with a segment.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
