Correct Answer: 196
Solution : The area of a circle, $ \text{Area} = \pi r^2$ where $r$ is the radius of the circle. Given that the area of the circle is 38.5 cm 2 . $⇒ r = \sqrt{\frac{\text{Area}}{\pi}} = \sqrt{\frac{38.5}{\pi}} = 3.5$ cm The side length of square LMNO = $2r = 7$ cm In $\triangle NHO$, $ON^2=NH^2+HO^2$ $⇒7^2=NH^2+HO^2$ $⇒49=2NH^2$ $(\because NH=HO)$ $⇒NH=HO=\frac{7}{\sqrt2}$ cm The side length of square $FEGH=2NH = 7\sqrt2$ cm In $\triangle FDH$, $HF^2=FD^2+DH^2$ $⇒(7\sqrt2)^2=FD^2+DH^2$ $⇒98=2FD^2$ $(\because FD=DH)$ $⇒ FD=DH = 7$ cm The side length of square $ABCD=2 FD=14$ cm So, the area of the square $ABCD=196$ cm 2 Hence, the correct answer is 196.
