The circumference of a circle is diameter times pi (pi),
so if the circumference of a circle is 24pi centimeters (24 times pi centimeters),
the diameter of that circle must be 24 centimeters.
If one side of a square has a length of 24 centimeters,
the area of the square is %2824cm%29%2A%2824cm%29=576cm%5E2 .
