• Choice G

    For each shape, the constraint is that the shape is inscribed around (or related to) a circle of radius 1.

    A square with a distance of 1 from center to side has a side length of 2(1)=22(1) = 2, giving an area of:

    Asquare=22=4A_{\text{square}} = 2^2 = 4

    This is larger than the circle's area (π≈3.14\pi \approx 3.14), the regular octagon, the equilateral triangle, and the regular pentagon under the same constraint.

    The square has the greatest area.
