If sides bd and dc have the same length, what is the length of side bc?

The length of side BC is:

                        2 units.

In the right angled triangle BAD we will use the Pythagorean Theorem as:

Also, it is given that sides BD and DC have the same length.

i.e.

Hence, in right angled triangle i.e. ΔBDC we will again use the Pythagorean Theorem as:

answer

explanation

the area of a circle is calculated using the formula

or

we can use any of the above formulae to calculate the required. preferably, let us use the latter since the diameter is

we substitute the diameter into the formula to get:

this is the exact value for the area of the circle.

the correct answer is a
