The diameter of circle S is equal in length to a side of a certain square. The diameter of circle T is equal in length to a diagonal of the same square. The area of circle T is how many times the area of circle S ?


A. \(√2\)

B. \(√2 + 1\)

C. 2

D. \(\pi\)

E. \(\sqrt{2\pi}\)

Let's solve the question by assigning some "nice" (easy to work with) values to the dimensions

Let's say each side of the square has length 2
This means 2 = the DIAMATER of circle S



If 2 = length of each side of square X, then the diagonal has length 2√2

This means 2√2 = the DIAMATER of circle T


The area of circle T is how many times the area of circle S ?
If 2 = the DIAMATER of circle S, then its RADIUS = 1
Area = πr² = π(1²) = π

If 2√2 = the DIAMATER of circle T, then its RADIUS = √2
Area = πr² = π(√2)² =

The area of circle T is 2 times the area of circle S

Answer: C

Cheers,
Brent
