Suppose you have a square board with 64 total tan and grey squares, each square measuring 5 cm by 5 cm.

What's the radius of the largest circle that can be drawn on the board such that the entire circumference of the circle is only touching grey? Please round to the nearest hundredth of a centimeter

could someone please solve this for me
thanks alot
more than one person's answer would be appreciated

I'm not entirely sure if I'm right, but the largest circle I could find is one that has only 1 blue tile in it, which means the circumference goes through 4 tan tiles.

The radius for my circle is around 3.54cm

thanks
o and i just realized this detail
and it might change the answer i dont know
but the board is a checker board
thanks again
