D)The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
QUANTITY A: The area of a square with perimeter equal to 64
The perimeter is comprised of four equal sides.
So, the length of one side = 64/4 = 16
Area of square = side² = 16² = 256
QUANTITY B: The area a circle with diameter equal to 18
The diameter = 18, then the radius = 18/2 = 9
Area of circle = (pi)(radius²) = (pi)(9²) ≈ (3.14)(81) ≈ 254.34
