Area of circle

Does anybody know how to find the area of the larger circle knowing only that the radius of the smaller inner circles is equal to 5.2 ? thanks in advance,

It has side length $2r$ It's diagonal has length $d = 2\sqrt{2}r$ The diameter of the larger circle is $D = 2r + d = 2r(1+\sqrt{2})$ and it's radius $R = r(1+\sqrt{2})$ with area $A = \pi R^2 = \pi r^2(1+\sqrt{2})^2 = \pi r (3+2\sqrt{2})$ $A = (3+2\sqrt{3})\pi (5.2) = 30.3078 \pi$ Thanks from topsquark
