c=2pir
area=pir^2

so if c=10units
10=2pir
5=pir
5/pi=r

sub for area
area=pir^2
area=pi(5/pi)^2
area=pi(25/pi^2)
area=25/pi

75% or 3/4 of that is
25/pi times 3/4=75/(4pi)
use calculator
5.9683103659460750913331411264693 square units
or rounded
6 square units

Answer: 6 sq. units

Explanation:

The formula to find the circumference of a circle is given by :-


C=2\pi r, where r is the radius of the circle.

Given : Circumference = 10 units

Then ,
10=2\pi r


\\\\\Rightarrow\ r=(10)/(2\pi)\approx1.59

The area of a circle is given by :-


A=\pi r^2=\pi(1.59)^2=7.9422603875\approx7.94\text{ sq. units}

Now, the 75 % of the area is given by :-


0.75*7.94=5.955\approx6\text{ sq. units}

Hence, 75% of the area of a circle with a circumference of 10 units = 6 sq. units
