Area = 32
$$2x^2 = 32$$
x = 4

Sides, 4 & 8
Diameter is hypotenuse of the triangle.
Diameter = $$\sqrt{4^2 + 8^2}$$
Diameter = $$4\sqrt{5}$$

Circumference = $$4π√5$$

B.

2x*x=32
=> x=4
therefore, length= 8 & width= 4
we know, diagonal of rectangle= root(8^2+4^2)
=root(80)
=4root5

Now, circum= 2πr=2π*2root5= 4π root 5
so ans is B
