  1. $1 cm$
  2. $2 cm$
  3. $3 cm$
  4. $4 cm$

B Correct answer
Explanation

Circumference = 2 * pi * r. Area = pi * r^2. Setting them equal: 2 * pi * r = pi * r^2. Dividing by pi * r (assuming r > 0), we get 2 = r.

AI explanation

Setting the circumference formula, 2 pi r, equal to the area formula, pi r squared, we solve for the radius. Dividing both sides by pi r leaves 2 equals r. The radius of the circle is 2 cm.
