Answer

(a) $A(r)=4r^2$ (b) $p(r)=8r$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that the area of a square is: $A=side^2$ Each side is equal to the diameter of the circle: $side=diameter=2*r$ Thus: $A(r)=(2r)(2r)=4r^{2}$ (b) We know that the perimeter of the square is: $P=4*side$ Each side is equal to the diameter of the circle: $side=diameter=2*r$ Thus: $p(r)=4(2r)=8r$
