Area of square and circle is equal
Lets say area is 100
Square - Area = 100 side = 10 and perimeter = 40
Circle - Area = pi*r^2 = 100, radius = 5.6 approx perimeter = 2pir = 31 approx
ratio of 40/32 = 4/3 approx.

Not sure how to do this.
s/r = sqrt(pi)
So, 4s / (2*pi*r) = 2 / sqrt(pi)
sqrt(pi) = sqrt(3.14) ~ 1.7
So, we know 2/1.7 > 1 and <2> 1.33. Hence, C
