Answer:

A = 324π m^2

Explanation:

First, find the radius of the circle. If the perimeter of the square is 72 meters, then the length of one side of the square is 72/4, or 18 meters.

Knowing this, we also now know that the radius of the circle is 18 meters.

Thus, the area of the inscribed circle is A = π(18 m)^2, or A = 324π m^2.
