Question #N824
A circle has a radius of 5 centimeters. What is the area of the circle, in square centimeters?
A. 5$\pi$
B. 10$\pi$
C. 25$\pi$
D. 50$\pi$
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. Since the radius is 5 centimeters, the area is $\pi (5)^2 = 25\pi$ square centimeters.
