area of circle = pi * r2 = 16. X^16 . 2π , hence radius = 4X

the diameter of the circle will be one side of the square = 8X
hence area of the square = 64 X^2

Hence option D


Bunuel

In the figure, the square has two sides that are tangent to the circle. If the area of the circle is \(16x^2\pi\), what is the area of the square, in terms of x?

A. 16x^2
B. 25x^2
C. 32x^2
D. 64x^2
E. 128x^2

In the figure, the square has two sides that are tangent to the circle. If the area of the circle is 16x2π, what is the area of the square, in terms of x?

Given:
Area of circle is \(16x^2\)\(\pi\)

\(\pi\)\(r^2\) = \(16x^2\pi\)
\(r^2\)=16\(x^2\)
r=4x

with radius we can calculate diameter , d=2r , d=8x

Diameter of circle is equal to length of a side of square , so we get side of square S = 8x
Area of square = S^2 = \((8x)^2\) = 64\(x^2\)

Ans : D

area of circle= pi * radius^2 = 16*x^2*pi -> radius=4x

The diameter of the circle = side of the square = 2*4x

area of sqaure = (8x)^2 = 64*x^2

Are of circle = 16x2π = πr^2
r = 4x
d = 8x = side of square

Area of square = d^2 = (8x)^2 = 64x^2

Option D
