To solve this problem, let’s find both the circumference and area of the circle using the radius provided.

Given:
- Radius \( r = 16 \) inches

### 1. Circumference of the Circle
The formula for the circumference \( C \) of a circle is:
\[
C = 2 \pi r
\]

Substituting \( r = 16 \):
\[
C = 2 \pi \times 16 = 32\pi
\]

Using an approximation for \( \pi \approx 3.14159 \):
\[
C \approx 32 \times 3.14159 = 100.5 \text{ inches}
\]

So, the **circumference is approximately 100.5 inches**.

### 2. Area of the Circle
The formula for the area \( A \) of a circle is:
\[
A = \pi r^2
\]

Substituting \( r = 16 \):
\[
A = \pi \times (16)^2 = \pi \times 256 = 256\pi
\]

Using \( \pi \approx 3.14159 \):
\[
A \approx 256 \times 3.14159 = 804.2 \text{ square inches}
\]

So, the **area is approximately 804.2 square inches**.
