The area of the rectangular is x∗2x=32, from which we get x = 4 (we exclude x = -4 because a side of a rectangular cannot have a negative length.
Then, using Pitagora's theorem we can find the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle, which is half of the rectangular and we get it equal to √(80)=4sqrt(5).
Finally, the circumference of the circle is given by 2r∗π where 2r is the diameter that in this case equals 4sqrt(5).
Thus, the circumference is equal to 4π√(5). Answer B!
