The length of side of square = 24/4=6. length of the diagonal of the square = square root 2 * Side = 6*root2. Diagonal of the square must me the diameter of the circle.
So 2*pi*r=6*root2*pi .IMO Option D

perimeter = 24 ; each side is 6 and diagonal = diameter= 6√2
radius ; 3√2
and circumference ; 2*3√2*pi
IMO D; 6√2*π

4s = 24

So, s = 6 ( Each side of the square is 6 )

Now, Diagonal of the Square = Diamter of the Circle

So, \(6\sqrt{2}\)= Diameter of the Circle

Now, Circumference of the Circle is π*Diamter of the Circle = 6√2*π , Answer must be (D)

The square is inside the circle, see attachment below. Then the length of the square is longer than the radius of the circle. Radius = 6 / sqrt(2) = 3*sqrt(2), and the circumference is 2pi * 3sqrt(2). Thus the answer is D.

Since the perimeter of S is 24, each side is 6, and the diagonal of S = the diameter of T = 6√2. Thus, the circumference of T is 6√2*π.
