The area of the circle is 4a²π
Area of circle = π(radius)²
= 4a²π
= π4a²
= π(2a)²
So, the radius = 2a
This means the diameter = 4a (diameter is TWICE the radius)

What is the area of the square?
Each side of the square has length 4a
Area of square = side²
= (4a )²
= 16a²
= D

We see that the radius of the circle is 2a, so a side of the square is 4a, and thus, the area of the square is (4a)^2 = 16a^2.

Answer: D
