Given:

The center of the circle is the origin and the radius is 5.

Required:

Find the equation of the circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the circle when the center is (a,b) and the radius is r is given as:


(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2

The center (a,b) = (0,0)

radius r = 5

So the equation of the circle is:


\begin{gathered} (x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=(5)^2 \\ x^2+y^2=25 \end{gathered}

Final Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.
