Area = 625 = $${side}^2$$ = Side = 25.

Diagonal of a square is Side$$\sqrt{2}$$ = 25$$\sqrt{2}$$

Diagonal of a square is the diameter of the circle = 25$$\sqrt{2}$$

Radius becomes 25$$\sqrt{2}$$/2.

Area = pi$$r^2$$ = 625*2*pi/4 = 625/2 * pi

C. $$125\pi$$

D. $$\frac{2500}{\pi}$$

E. $$625\pi$$

Since the length of wire will remain same,

Perimeter of square = Perimeter of circle

Area of square= 625 m2
=> Side= 25 m
=> Perimeter=4* side= 100

For circle:
2*pi*r=100
r=50/pi

Area= pi*r*r
= 2500/pi

Damn, I misunderstood the question.
