Answer: Diameter: 8

Area: 201.1

Explanation:

Diameter: Use the formula for the area of a circle:

Use the formula for the area of a circle:

A=πr2

Here, the area is 16π:

16π=πr^2

Divide both sides by π:

16=r^2

Take the square root of both sides: √16=√r^2

4=r

Since the radius of the circle is 4, the diameter is twice that:

d=4×2=8

Area:

Formula:

A = π r^2

A= Area R= Radius

Add Radius

A= π 8^2

Solve:

Simplify π⋅8^2

Exact Form:

A=64π

Decimal Form:

A=201.06192982
