In the figure above, square ABCD has an area of 25. What is the area of the circle with center O ?


A. \(\frac{5\sqrt{2}\pi}{2}\)

B. \(\frac{25\pi}{2}\)

C. \(\frac{25\pi}{2}\)

D. \(5\sqrt{2}\pi\)

E. \(25\pi\)

Area of square \(= a^2 = 25\) where a is the side of the square

i.e. Side of the square, \(a = 5\)

But Diagonal of the square = Diameter of the circle

and Diagonal of the square with side a \(= a√2\)

i.e. Diameter of teh circle \(= 5√2\)

Area of the circle \(= (π/4)d^2\) where d is the diameter of the circle

i.e. Area of the circle \(= (π/4)(5√2)^2 = 12.5π\)

Answer: Option C or B

Bunuel : Please edit the options as both Options B and C are same

side of sqaure = 5, and triangle ADC is isosceles AC= 5 sqrt 2, radius = 5/sqrt 2

area pi* (5/sqrt 2)^2= option C

Area of square =a^2=25 where a is the side of the square

i.e. Side of the square, a=5

Here Diagonal of the square = Diameter of the circle

We are aware diagonal of the square with side a =a√2

i.e. Diameter of the circle= diagonal=5√2

Area of the circle =πr^2= π* (5√2/2)^2

i.e. Area of the circle =π*25*2/4=π*25/2

Ans choice C
