    thank you for this video
    I used the triangle OPA :
    OA = r = 1 , OP = x , AP = 1/2 AB = ( 1 + x )/2
    Pythagoras => x² + (( 1 + x )/2 )² = 1² x² + 1/4 ( 1 + 2x + x² ) = 1 5/4 x² + 1/2 x - 3/4 = 0
    x² + 2/5 x - 3/5 = 0 => x1,2 = - 1/5 +/- sqrt( 1/25 + 15/25 )
    with x = 3/5 we get AB = 8/5 and the Area of the square is : A = ( 8/5 )² = 64/25

      Pretty close to how I did it (I invented F rather than P though).
      Using your labelling rather than mine, it gave me a right triangle of sides (1/2)x, (x-1), and 1, from which x can be calculated by Pythagoras.

    Let the side of the square have length s. At 3:00, construct AO. Since the area of the circle is π, its radius is 1, as found in the video. So, OA = OB = OE = OF = 1. OP = PE - OE. PE is equal to the side of the square, or s, and OE = 1, so OP = s - 1. AP is half the length of the side of the square, or s/2. Apply the Pythagorean theorem to ΔAPO: 1² = (s - 1)² + (s/2)², 1 = s² -2s + 1 + s²/4, 0 = 5s²/4 - 2s, which has two roots, s = 0 and 5s/4 = 2, or s = 8/5. We discard s = 0, so s = 8/5. The area of the square is s² = (8/5)² = 64/25 = 2.56 sq. units, as PreMath also found.

    APE and BPE are 1:2:√5 right triangles, so ∠AEP and ∠BEP are tan⁻¹ 1/2 ⇒ ∠AEB is tan⁻¹ 4/3 (by trig. identities).
    Therefore, the chord AB is the major cathetus of a 3:4:5 right triangle whose hypotenuse is a diameter of the circle.
    Since the area of the circle is π, its diameter is 2 so AB is 2·4/5 = 8/5 and the area of the square is 64/25 = 2.56 u².

    Let AD meet the circle at G & draw a perpendicular from G to meet EF at H.
    Since AD is parallel to EF, ∠GOE=∠ AOF. So we get |DG| = |EH| = |PF| = 1. By the
    tangent-secant theorem from the point D, we get |DE|²=|DG|.|DA|. ∴ [(2-x)/2]²=x(2-x).
    Since 2-x≠0, (2-x)/4=x. ∴ 5x-2=0. So x=2/5. ∴ area(ABCD)= (2 -2/5)²=(8/5)² = 64/25.

    Use intersecting chord theorem. Radius of circle is 1 and diameter is 2. Let AB represent the side length of the square.
    Extend a horizontal line from E through O to F on the opposite side of the circle. Mark G where this line intersects AB.
    Then AG*BG=EG*FG yields (AB/2)^2=AB(2-AB) or 5AB^2-8AB=0; AB=8/5 units. Green area=AB^2=64/25 square units.

    Let s = side length of square. Then in △AOP, we get:
    ∠APO = 90° (diameter EF perpendicular to tangent DC and AB parallel to DC, so EF perpendicular to AB)
    AP = AB/2 = s/2 (diameter that is perpendicular to chord bisects the chord)
    OP = EP − OE = s−r = s−1
    OA = r = 1
    Using Pythagorean theorem, we get
    (s/2)² + (s−1)² = 1²
    s²/4 + s² − 2s + 1 = 1
    5s²/4 − 2s = 0
    s/4 (5s − 8) = 0
    s = 0 or 8/5
    Since s is sidelength of square and is > r, then
    s = 8/5 = 1.6
    Area of square = s² = 64/25 = 2.56

    Let's use an adapted orthonormal: E(0;0) A(k;k/2) B(k, -k/2) where k is the length of the square.
    The equation of the circle is x^2 + y^2 + ax + by +c = 0 where a, b and c are unknown.
    A is on the circle so c = 0; B is on the circle so k^2 + (k^2)/4 + ak + (bk)/2 = 0; B is on the circle so k^2 + (k^2)/4 +ak - (bk)/2 = 0.
    Its easy to obtain that c =0; a = -(5/4).k; b =0. So the equation of the circle is x^2 + y^2 -(5/4).k = 0, or (x - (5/8).k)^2 + y^2 = ((5/8).k)^2
    So we have O((5/8).k; 0) and the radius R of the circle is (5/8).k
    Now we know that R = 1 (as the area of the circle is Pi), so (5/8).k = 1 and then k = 8/5 is the length of the square.
    Finally the area of the square is (8/5)^2 = 64/25.

    This could be trickier than it looks at first.
    r=1.
    Call the square's sides s.
    Make a midpoint on AB and call it F.
    AOF is a right triangle with sides (1/2)s, s-1, and 1.
    ((1/2)s)^2 + (s-1)^2 = 1^2
    (1/4)s^2 + (s-1)^2 = 1^2
    (1/4)s^2 + s^2 - 2s + 1 = 1
    (5/4)s^2 - 2s = 0
    5s^2 - 8s = 0
    s = (8/5) so square is (64/25) sq units.
    2.56 sq units.
    I did assimilate additional information which I later discarded and deleted from this answer.
    EDIT: No intersecting chords needed - just straightforward Pythagoras for this one.
    Now to watch how you did it :)
    I see you used another method and, unusually, mine appears simpler :)
    Thank you once again.

    Let's label the length of the side of the square ABCD as"Y". (Y must be positive to be a viable solution)
    Set up the product of the component lengths of the intersecting chords APB and the diameter EOF for the circle of radius 1 (the two chords intersect at point "P" ):
    (AP)(PB) = (EP)(PF) or (Y/2)(Y/2)= Y(2-Y). Hence Y = 8/5 and area of square ABCD = Y^2 = 64/25

    1/ Let a be the side of the square and F the intersecting point of DA and the circle.
    We have r=1 and BF is the diameter
    So OP= EP-EO=a-1 -->FA=2OP= 2a-2--> DF=DA-FA=2-a
    By using tangent theorem
    Sq ED=DF x DA--> sqa/4=a.(2-a)--> 5sqa-8a=0
    a=8/5
    Area=64/25=2.56 sq units

    I didn't know the chord multiplication theorem. I immediately drew in sin M and cos M (angle at midpoint M, I don't write O as it looks like zero) and came up with 2 sin M as the vertical side and 1 + cos M as the horizontal side, and since it's a square you get the equation 2x = 1 + sqrt(1 - x^2) if you sub x = sin M and figure cos from the trig Pythagoras. This gives you (2x-1)^2 = 1 - x^2 or finally x(5x - 4) = 0. Since x is obviously not 0 from the sketch, it must be 4/5 = 0.8 , making the cos M = 0.6 and yielding the famous 3, 4, 5 shape. But since 0.8 was sin M and 2sinM is 1.6 was the side of the square, you get 2.56 for the area. I like the chord theorem solution, though, as it avoids trigonometry.

X = 1 + I OP I ... we can find I OP I with Pythagoras in for instance right triangle (AOP) ... I OA I = R = 1 , I AP I = X/2 , so I AP I^2 + I OP I^2 = I OA I^2 ... so after doing the algebraic steps we obtain I OP I = SQRT(4 - X^2)/2 ... recalling X = 1 + I OP I ... X - 1 = SQRT(4 - X^2)/2 ... after a few algebraic steps solving for X we obtain ... 5X^2 - 8X = 0 ... X(5X - 8) = 0 ... X = 0 (rejected) v X = 8/5 .... finally Area green square = X^2 = ( 8/5 )^2 = 64/25 u^2 .... thank you for your clear alternative strategy ... best regards, Jan-W

    A much simpler way of resolving the ab=cd and only leaves one solution instead of two.
    The steps are as follows;
    4x(2-x) = (2-x)(2-x) starting following the first simplification step
    4x = 2-x divide both sides by (2-x)
    4x + x = 2 add 'x' to both sides
    5x = 2 combine 'x' terms
    x = 2/5 divide both sides by x

    Let's find the size of the green area:
    .
    ..
    ...
    ....
    .....
    May s be the side length of the square and may r be the radius of the circle. From the given area of the circle we can conclude:
    A(circle) = πr² = π ⇒ r = 1
    The line through the points E and O may intersect AB in point F. Then we get two congruent right triangles OFA and OFB, so we can apply the Pythagorean theorem:
    OA² = FA² + OF²
    r² = (s/2)² + (s − r)²
    r² = s²/4 + s² − 2sr + r²
    0 = 5s²/4 − 2sr
    0 = 5s²/8 − sr
    0 = s*(5s/8 − r)
    Since s≠0, we can follow:
    5s/8 = r
    ⇒ s = (8/5)r = 8/5
    ⇒ A(square) = s² = 64/25 = 2.56

    Maybe I jumped to conclusions, but if:

    Then can you not divide by (2-x)?
    Thus
    4x=(2-x)
    4x+x=2

    Therefore:

    Let's assume a point F, that lies on the square side, in a streight line, such a way, OF = 2x - r
    *OF = 2x - 1*
    Applying The Pythagorean Theorem, we gonna have:
    OA² = OF² + FA²
    1² = (2x - 1)² + x²
    1 = 4x² - 4x + 1 + x²
    5x² - 4x = 0
    x (5x - 4) = 0
    x = 0 Rejected
    *x = 4/5* Accepted
    L = 2x
    L = 2 . 4/5
    *L = 8/5*
    A = L² = (8/5)²
    *A = 64/25 Square Units*
    *A = 2,56 Square Units*

    When x=2, the 'square' is just a dot at the point E.
