Area of the square = 8, so side =√8 = 2√2.
Diagonal of the square = s√2
= 2√2 * 2 = 4
Diagonal of the square = radius of the circle
Area of the circle = 16π
Answer - C

Area of circle = Radios^2* pi.
Given that the area of square is 8 = A of square = S^2.
Clearly that the side is 2√2.
To find the Radios we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal.
(2√2)^2+(2√2)^2=(d)^2
16=d^2= d=4
Finally, Area of circle = (4)^2*pi = 16pi
