An employee of a certain company is creating the smallest possible cubic box into which a spherical piece of art will be placed for an exhibit. The longest distance around the piece of art is \(\frac{π^2}{4}\) meters.
Select the approximate value, in meters, of the sphere's diameter d and select the desired value, in meters squared, of the area A of the box's interior base. Make only two selections, one in each column.

Longest Area Around the spherical piece of art is its circumpherence i.e. 2*pi*r
so 2*pi*r= (pi)^2/4
r comes as pi/8 hence Diameter D= pi/4=0.79
Area of Base A is D^2= 0.79^2=0.62
so 2*pi*r= (pi)^2/4
r comes as pi/8 hence Diameter D= pi/4=0.79
Area of Base A is D^2= 0.79^2=0.62

On this kind of question, one has to be careful not to over approximate. For example, using 3 as an approximate value for pi changes the answers.
