Solution 1
Let 𝑂 O be the center of the circle. Then 𝐷 𝑂 = 𝑂 𝐴 = 8 DO=OA=8 and radius 𝑂 𝐸 = 𝑂 𝐴 + 𝐴 𝐸 = 8 + 9 = 17 OE=OA+AE=8+9=17. Draw radius 𝑂 𝐵 ‾ OB which also has length 17 17. Then △ 𝑂 𝐴 𝐵 △OAB is a right triangle with hypotenuse 17 17 and base leg 8 8. By the Pythagorean Theorem 𝐴 𝐵 = 1 7 2 − 8 2 = 289 − 64 = 225 = 15 AB= 17 2 −8 2 = 289−64 = 225 =15. The area of rectangle 𝐴 𝐵 𝐶 𝐷 ABCD is 𝐷 𝐴 ⋅ 𝐴 𝐵 DA⋅AB = 16 ⋅ 15 16⋅15 = 240 240. Answer: 𝐴 A .
