The area of a square is given by the formula A = s^2, where s is the side length of the square.

Given that the area of the square is 144 m^2, we can solve for the side length s:

144 = s^2
s = √144
s = 12 m

The diagonal of a square is related to its side length by the formula d = s√2. Using this formula, we can find the diameter of the circle, which is equal to the diagonal of the square:

d = 12√2 ≈ 16.97 m

The circumference of a circle is given by the formula C = πd, where d is the diameter.

C = π(16.97)
C ≈ 150.7 m

Therefore, the circumference of the circle is approximately 150.7 m.
