Bunuel, Can you check the options? Isn't the answer 64*pi?

Hi getting 64 Pi.

Dia =Under root( 7-7)^2 + (7-23)^
Dia = 16
Radius = 8
Area = 64 Pi

On the xy-coordinate plane, points R(7,-3) and S(7,7) are the endpoints of the longest possible chord of a certain circle. What is the area of the circle?


(A) \(7\pi\)

(B) \(16\pi\)

(C) \(20\pi\)

(D) \(25\pi\)

(E) \(49\pi\)

Sorry guys. There was a typo in the stem. Edited. Thank you.

Given: On the xy-coordinate plane, points R(7,-3) and S(7,7) are the endpoints of the longest possible chord of a certain circle.
Asked: What is the area of the circle?

Diameter is the longest possible chord of a given circle

Length of diameter = \(\sqrt{(7-7)^2 + (7+3)^2}= 10\)
Radius of the circle = 5
Area of the circle = \(\pi 5^2= 25\pi\)

the longest chord in a circle, by definition, is the Diameter

Since the 2 given points are on the same Vertical Line of X = 7, the Distance between the 2 Points is the Absolute Value of the Difference between the Y Coordinates.

This Distance = Diameter of Circle

[7 - (-3)] = [7 + 3] = 10 = diameter

1/2 * (diameter) = radius of 5

Area of Circle = 25 (pi)
