The key to solving the problem is to be able to visualize it correctly. In case you have trouble visualising it, then I can try posting a graphic solution with figures.
Lets assume that the side of the square is = a
Therefore, Diameter of the circle which has been cut out will be = a
Hence Radius of circle = a/2
The square of maximum size in the circle will have the diameter as it’s diagonal.
Hence side of the square will be (diameter)/(square root of 2)
So area of the square will be = a^2/2
Hope this helps!
