Lazy more like -

29.7mm x 42mm directly proportioned.

35.32mm x 35.32mm as a square.

Depends what exactly the OP is trying to ask, but that [i]isn't[/i] 10% of an A3 (297mm × 420mm) sheet.

It is 1%.

93.9mm x 132.8mm

edit
Above is rectangular keeping A3 ratio (1:1.41)

Square would be 111.7mm x 111.7mm

Square is easy.

It is just ?(297x420/10) = 111.6870628139177mm 8)

looks bang on, for this purpose I'm thinking my 210 x 59.4 will suit best.

Thanks all and some lovely fails 🙂

Your question would be clearer if it included the word "area".

10% of the diameter is obvious.
The diameter of a circle with 10% of the area is a bit trickier.

A = ? r²

So for 10% area:

A/10 = ? r²

Then rearrange for r.
