Answer: 25
\pi

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation you use to find the area of a circle is:
\pi r^(2) where r is the radius of the circle. We know that a diameter is twice that of the radius. Therefore, we divide the diameter, 10, in half to find the radius, which ends up as 5. We can then input 5 into our equation (
\pi 5^(2)). Since it wants us to leave pi in our answer, we square 5, (5 × 5) to get 25. That is how you get 25
\pi.
