2 puzzles for yall

1.)Ok so this puzzle came up in my math class and i was wondering if you could solve it.

So there are 7 disks like show here http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/7365/dotsi.png

(you can't move the disks) draw 3 squares so that each circle is in it's own square, but only 4 of the squares can be the same size.

2. solve this problem. 987654321 minus every number from 1-9 (each number can be used once) and it must equal a number with all the digits 1-9

everyone saying draw three squares and only 4 squares can be the same size think about the problem. If you have to make 7 squares (i per circle) than there are more than 4 squares
