vertex Q of square OPQR is on circle with centre O

=> radius of the circle = diagonal of the square

area of square is $$a^2$$ = 8

=> a = $$2\sqrt{2}$$

diagonal of the square = $$\sqrt{a^2 + a^2}$$

=> diagonal = $$\sqrt{8 + 8}$$

=> diagonal = $$\sqrt{16}$$ = 4

=> radius of the circle = 4

=> Area of the circle = $$4^2 \pi$$ = $$16 \pi$$

Hence option C

OA:C
As per figure,Diagonal ($$diagonal_{square}$$) of Square is equal to Radius of circle.
Area of Square = $$\frac{1}{2}*Diagonal_{square}^2=8$$
$$Diagonal_{square}^2=16$$;
As $$Diagonal_{square}$$ = Radius of circle
$${Radius}^2 =16$$
Area of circle= $$\pi *$$ $${Radius}^2=\pi*16$$

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.
