The largest radius would be 5 in., and here's why:
You have a square baking dish, with each side of the baking dish having a length of 10 in.
And that means that the distance from the middle of the pan to the edge is 5 in.
So the largest circle that could be inside the baking pan would be a circle whose center is at the center of the pan and whose radius goes out to the edge of the pan.

Ten inches is the measurement of, "s", one of the sides of the square, therefore, the largest inscribed circle would have a diameter of "s". To find the radius given diameter, divide by 2. So, the radius of your circle would be 5 inches.

5'. The maximum diameter is 10', which is circle drawn inside the square (square's sides and the circle have only one common point). This circle has r=5'.
Sorry about my broken english. Unfoetuately we don't talk about maths at english classes, here in Bulgaria. So I don't know many terms.

10" square is a 10"X10" pan
The shortest distance between opposite sides of the pan is 10". That shortest distance defines your diameter. The radius is half of the diameter.
5" is your radius.
