Answer is E.

Diameter of circle = Side of square.
Let diameter be d and side be s.
Circumference = πd = 25π
So, d = 25 = s.
Perimeter = 4s = 100

πD = 25π => diameter is 25.
Therefore, side of square = 25.
Perimeter = 4*side = 100

If the circumference of a circle inscribed in a square is 25π, what is the perimeter of the square?


A. 20

B. 25

C. 40

D. 50

E. 100

When a circle is inscribed in a square, the diameter of the circle is equal to the side of the square.

Since circumference = πd, we have:

πd = 25π

d = 25 = side of the square

Thus, the perimeter of the square is 25 x 4 = 100.

Answer: E

[1] Find Diameter

Since the diameter of a circle is equal to the side of a square, finding the circle's diameter will allow us to calculate the square's perimeter.

\(Circumference = Diameter \times \pi\)

\(\frac{25\pi}{\pi} = Diameter\)

\(Diameter = 25\)

[2] Calculate Perimeter


\(Perimeter = 4 \times Side\)

\(Side \equiv Diameter\)

\(25\times 4 = 100\)

Answer E

The perimeter of the circle = 25π

2πr = 25π
So r= 25/2 so Diameter = 2* 25/2 = 25

So the perimeter of the square = 4a = 4* 25 = 100

E. 100


Diagonal = diameter(2r) = 25, thus length of side is 25

so, perimeter is 25*4 = 100

If the square is inside the circle, the perimeter of the square will be 50√2, Correct?

The circumference of a circle is given by the formula C = 2πr, where C is the circumference and r is the radius of the circle.

In this case, we are given that the circumference of the circle inscribed in a square is 25π. Since the circle is inscribed in the square, the diameter of the circle is equal to the side length of the square.

Let's denote the side length of the square as s. Therefore, the diameter of the circle is also s, and the radius of the circle is s/2.

We can set up the equation for the circumference of the circle:

C = 2πr
25π = 2π(s/2)
25 = s

Therefore, the side length of the square is 25.

To find the perimeter of the square, we can multiply the side length by 4:

Perimeter = 4s = 4 * 25 = 100

Therefore, the perimeter of the square is 100, which corresponds to option (E).
