Expert Solution
Step 1 (a)

From the figure it can be seen that circle is fully inscribed in the square such that circle touches the sides of the square. 

The diameter of the circle is equal to the side of the square. 

Thus, the side of the square is 2×8=16ft

 

The area of the square will be:

Area = Side×Side       =16×16       =256ft2
