Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a circle has a radius of 5 cm
We want to find the area of this circle
The area of a circle is given as [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex], where r is the radius
As stated above, the radius of this circle is 5; ergo, r =5
We can substitute 5 as r in the formula
A = [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex]
A = [tex]\pi (5)^{2}[/tex]
Raise 5 to the 2nd power
A = π * 25
A = 25π cm²
If you need your answer in terms of pi (or as an exact answer), the answer would be 25π cm² (don't forget your units!)
However, if your system wants pi approximated, see below:
If your system wants pi to be used as 3.14, then multiply 25 by 3.14; 25 * 3.14 = 78.5 cm²
If your system wants pi to be used as 22/7, then multiply 25 by 22/7; 25 * 22/7 ≈ 78.57 cm²
