Find the area of a square circumscribed about a circle with a radius of 16.

It is known that the side of a square circumscribed about a circle is equal to twice the radius of this circle. Thus, for a given square, a = 2r = 2 * 16 = 32.

Determine the area of the square by the formula S = a ^ 2.

S = a ^ 2 = 32 ^ 2 = 1024.

Answer: S = 1024.
