well the radius of the circle is square root of 50 divided by 2.

You find this by doing the pythagorean theorem.

5^2 + 5^2 = x^2 (x = diameter)

25 + 25 = x^2

50 = x^2

square root of 50 = x

I said before x was the diameter so x/2 is the radius

Area of a circle = pi x r^2

pi x (square root of 50 divided by 2)^2

pi x 12.5 =
