A Correct answer
Explanation

Area of circle = pi * r^2 = 616. r^2 = 616 / (22/7) = 196, so r = 14. The side of the square is 2 * r = 28. Area of square = 28^2 = 784.

AI explanation

Using the area of a circle formula, pi times the radius squared equals 616, and substituting pi as 22 divided by 7 gives the radius squared as 196, making the radius 14 cm. For an inscribed circle, the diameter of the circle equals the side length of the square, so the side length is 2 times 14, which is 28 cm. The area of the square is the side length squared, resulting in an area of 28 squared, which equals 784 cm2.
