A square, with perimeter 16, is inscribed in a circle. What is the area of the circle?

A. 4π
B. 8π
C. 12π
D. 16π
E. 32π

Side of square = 16/4 = 4
Diagonal of the square = \(4\sqrt{2}\) = 2r
r = \(2\sqrt{2}\)

Area of the circle = \(\pi * (2\sqrt{2})^2 = \pi *8\)

IMO B

A. 4π
B. 8π
C. 12π
D. 16π
E. 32π

Since the perimeter is 16, each side is 4, so the diagonal of the square is 4√2. Since the diagonal of the square and the diameter of the circle are equal, the diameter is 4√2, and thus the radius of the circle is ½ x 4√2 =2√2.

Thus, the area of the circle is π(2√2)^2 = 8π.

Answer: B
