The relationship is that the perimeter of the square is equal to the circumference of the circle multiplied by 1.13. Thus, p = 1.13 c. Here's how that's derived: the circle's area (πr²) is defined as being equal to the square's area (4s), where r is the circle's radius, and s is the square's side. So πr² = s², making s equal to r√π. The square's perimeter is 4s, or 4r√π. You would have to multiply the circumference (2πr) by (2/√π), or 1.13, to get the square's perimeter (4r√π). So the relationship of circumference to perimeter is p = 1.13 c. This is true only when the two areas are equal.
