Problem 5

The area of a circle whose circumference is $24\pi$ is $k\pi$ . What is the value of $k$ ?

$\mathrm{(A)}\ 6 \qquad \mathrm{(B)}\ 12 \qquad \mathrm{(C)}\ 24 \qquad \mathrm{(D)}\ 36 \qquad \mathrm{(E)}\ 144$

Solution

If the circumference of a circle is $24\pi$ , the radius would be $12$ . Since the area of a circle is $\pi r^2$ , the area is $144\pi$ . The answer is $\boxed{E}$ .
