Basically we are asked to find the area of a circle inscribed in a square of a side of 7 units. In this case the radius of the circle would be half of the side of the square, so 7/2 and its area would be \(\pi r^2=\pi*(\frac{7}{2})^2=\frac{49\pi}{4}\).

Answer: A.

Side of square = Diameter of Circle
Given side of square = 7cm
Radius (r) = \(\frac{7}{2}\)cm
Area of circle = \(\pi\)\(r^2\) = \((\frac{7}{2})^2\)\(\pi\) = \(\frac{49}{4}\)\(\pi\)
Answer A...
