Question #N579
A circle has a radius of 5 centimeters. What is the area, in square centimeters, of the circle?
A. 5
B. 10
C. 25
D. 25\pi
Correct Answer is: D
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 $r$, we get $A = \pi (5)^2 = 25\pi$.
