let center from x axis be (3,3) so distance o to c ; 3√2
plug in a = 9pi
we get B is correct
IMO B
Bunuel

The circle with center C shown above is tangent to both axes and has an area of A. What is the distance from O to C, in terms of A?

A. A

B. \(\sqrt{\frac{2A}{\pi}}\)

C. \(\sqrt{\frac{3A}{\pi}}\)

D. \(\frac{2A}{\pi}\)

E. \(\frac{3A}{\pi}\)

Since the area is A, we have:

A = πr^2

A/π = r^2

√(A/π) = r

Note that if we drop a perpendicular from C to the x axis (call it B), then we have created triangle OCB that is a 45-45-90 triangle with legs r and hypotenuse r√2 (which is also the distance from O to C). Recall that the side ratio for a 45-45-90 triangle is x : x : x√2 .

Since the radius is √(A/π), the distance from C to O is √(A/π) * √2 = √(2A/π).

Answer: B

OC = \(r\sqrt{2}\) (Pythagoras theorem, back to 7th grade)

Area (A) = \(\pi*r^2\) (not sure how to write r squared)

So, \(\sqrt{(A/\pi)} = r\)

OC = \(\sqrt{(A/π)}*\sqrt{2}.\)

Answer is (B)


Please check the approach Bunuel. Thanks :)
