Question

The area (in cm²) of the circle that can be inscribed in a square of side 8 cm is ____________.

Options

• `64 pi`

• `16 pi`

• `8 pi`

• `32 pi`

Answer 1

The area (in cm²) of the circle that can be inscribed in a square of side 8 cm is `underline(16 pi)`.

Explanation:

Side of square = diameter of circle = 8 cm

`therefore "Radius of cirlce, r" = 8/2 = 4  "cm"`

Area of circle = `pi "r"^2`

`= pi xx 4 xx 4 = 16 pi  "cm"^2`
