A circle has a diameter of 10 feet. What is the area of the circle? Leave answers in terms of π.

25pi

Step-by-step explanation:

If the circle has a diameter of 10, it has an radius of 5. The area of a circle is pi*r^2. If r=5, then it is 25pi.

25π feet^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle can be found using the following formula.

a=πr^2

We are given the diameter, but we need to find the radius. The radius is half of the diameter, or

r=d/2

We know the diameter is 10 feet. Therefore, we can substitute 10 in for d.

r=10/2

Divide 10 by 2

r=5

The radius is 5 feet.

Now we know the radius, and can substitute it into the area formula.

a=πr^2

r=5

a=π*5^2

Evaluate the exponent.

5^2 is equal to 5*5, which is 25.

a=π*25

a=25π

Add appropriate units. Area always uses units^2, and the units in this problem are feet.

a=25π feet^2

The area of the circle is 25π square feet
