SUMMARY
A circle inscribed in a square with sides measuring 40 units has a diameter of 40 units. A smaller circle, tangent to the larger circle and two sides of the square, is inscribed in one of the corners of the square. The diameter of this smaller circle can be calculated using geometric principles, specifically the relationship between the radius of the larger circle and the dimensions of the square. The diameter of the smaller circle is determined to be 20 units.
