The diagonal ACV is actually the diameter of the circle. From this we can also conclude that the two side of the square are twice the radius of the circle. As such, 2r
Now we can setup all the necessary to find D
(2r)^2+(2r)^2=d^2
Solve and we do have \(d=\sqrt{8} r\)
Comparing \(\sqrt{8} r\) and \(\frac{5r}{2}\) clearly A > B
A is the answer
