Detailed Solution

To calculate the circle's area, you must know its radius. The lengths of the two sides are equal in an isosceles triangle.
A circle is made up of all the points that are at a defined distance from a single fixed point. The centre is the fixed point. The radius r is the constant distance from the centre.
The circle's diameter and radius are related as follows: diameter is equal to twice the radius.

Every right angle triangle can be solved using Pythagoras' theorem. A rectangle's neighbouring sides meet at a 90° angle.

The base and perpendicular of a right-angled triangle are at a 90° angle to one another, and the hypotenuse is the longest side.

Triangle ABC is isosceles
BC=AC=(20-4)2=8

In triangle ACD, angle ACD is 90 degrees, because angle made by diameter at any point on circle is 90°.
Therefore we get
AD2=AC2+CD2
AD2=64+9=73
AD=2r=73
r=732
Area of circle is227×7322=22×737×4=57.33

Hence, the correct answer is option D.
