Using the coordinates you can determine the radius of the circle, the distance between (2,5) and (5,2) is 5 units.

The formula for area of a circle is A = (pi) x r^2
3.14 x 5 x 5 = 78.5
therefore the area of the square must be larger than 78.5 and 72 is your only option.
D would be ur closest answer
im not 100% sure this is what i would pick
