Solution
Given
In this question, we are given
- • The figure of a drop-leaf table.
• With all four leaves down the tabletop is a square, and with all four leaves up the tabletop is a circle.
To Find
We need to determine
- • The radius, in meters, of the tabletop when all four leaves are up.
Approach & Working
When all four leaves are up, the table will look like the following:
In this case, the diameter of the circle is equal to the diagonal of the table.
- • As the square table has a side length of 1m, its diagonal will be √2 m.
• Hence, diameter of the circular table = √2 m.
• Therefore, radius of the table = (√2)/2 m
Hence, the correct answer is option B.

We can use simple geometric rules to solve this problem, a Precise approach.
The radius of the circle is half its diameter. Since the diameter of the circle is just the diagonal of the (square) tabletop, and since the diagonal of a square with a side of 1 is sqrt(2) (remember your 45-45-90 triangle!), then our answer is 1/2 * sqrt(2).
(B) is our answer.
