Question #N193
A circle has a radius of 5 centimeters. What is the area, in square centimeters, of the circle?
A. 5\pi
B. 10\pi
C. 25\pi
D. 100\pi
Correct Answer is: C
The area of a circle is given by the formula $A = \pi r^2$, where $r$ is the radius of the circle. Substituting 5 for $r$ gives us $A = \pi (5)^2 = 25\pi$.
