What is the circumference of the circle above with center O?

(1) The perimeter of triangle OXZ is 20 + 10\sqrt{2}. Since <O=90 degrees and OX=OZ=r, then XZ=r\sqrt{2}. Thus we have that r+r+r\sqrt{2}=20 + 10\sqrt{2} --> we can find r, thus we can find the circumference. Sufficient.

(2) The length of arc XYZ is 5\pi. Again, since <O=90 degrees, then the length of arc XYZ is 1/4 of the circumference (360 degrees), thus the circumference = 20\pi. Sufficient.

Answer: D.
