side of the square = 6
diagonal of the square = diameter of the circle = a\(\sqrt{2}\) = 6\(\sqrt{2}\)
area of the circle = \(\pi\) 3\(\sqrt{2}\)*3\(\sqrt{2}\) = 18\(\pi\)

+1 for B.

Area of Square = S^2 = 36 --> S = 6
Diagonal of Circle = 6√2 (Applying Pythagoras Theorem) , and Radius = 3√2 (Half a diagonal)
Therefore, Area of the circle = πr^2 = π * (3√2)^2 = π * 9 * 2 = 18π

Hence, B.

Diameter of the Circle is \(6√2\) , Hence Raidus of the Circle is \(3√2\)

So, Area of the circle is \(π*3√2*3√2 = 18π\), Answer must be (B)
