    The area of the square that can be inscribed in a circle of radius 8 cm is: (NCERT EXEMPLAR)

    A) \[256\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    B) \[128\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    C) \[64\sqrt{2}\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    D) \[64\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Given, radius of circle, \[r=OC=8cm\]
    \[\therefore \]  Diameter of the circle  \[=AC=2\times OC\]
    \[=2\times 8=16\,cm\] which is equal to the diagonal of a square.
    Let a side of square be x.      
    In right angled \[\Delta ABC\]
    \[A{{C}^{2}}=A{{B}^{2}}+B{{C}^{2}}\]
    [By Pythagoras theorem]   
              
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{(16)}^{2}}={{x}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,256=2{{x}^{2}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{x}^{2}}=\frac{256}{2}=128\]
    \[\therefore \]  Area of the square \[={{x}^{2}}=128c{{m}^{2}}\]
