In the figure, vertex Q of square OPQR is on circle with centre O. If the area of the square is 8, what is the area of the circle?


A. \(8 \pi\)

B. \(8 \sqrt{2} \pi\)

C. \(16 \pi\)

D. \(32 \pi\)

E. \(64 \pi\)

Attachment:

Note :

Area of the square = 1/2 \((d)^2\)

Given

1/2*\((d)^2\) = 8

d = 4.

Now diagonal has become the radius of the of circle.

Area of the circle = pie * \(r^2\)

= 16 pie.

The best answer is C.

+1 for C.

Area of the Square = L^2 = 8
L = 2 root 2

Diagonal of the Square = D
D^2 = (2root2)^2 + (2root2)^2
D^2 = 16
D = 4 = Radius of the circle

Area of the Circle = (Radius)^2*pi = (4^2)pi = 16 pi

Hence, C.
