So,
Starting with the area of the circle, which is the easy one, it is πr^2
Since the radius is r, the diameter of the circle is 2r.
The diameter of the circle is also equal to the side of the square.
Since the area of the suare is side^2, then the area of the particular square will be (2r)^2 = 4r^2.
So the area of the circles takes up this % of the area of the square:
πr^2 / 4r^2 = (1/4)π = 25π%, So, ANS B

Radius of r, means that the side is 2r.
The area of square (2r)^2 = 4r^2;
The area of circle πr^2.
The percent of the square’s area is taken up by the circle = circle/square*100 = πr^2/4r^2*100= π/4 * 100 = 25π.
Answer: B.
