The area of a circle can be calculated using the formula:
A = πr²
Where A is the area, π (pi) is approximately 3.14, and r is the radius of the circle.
In this case, the radius is 5. Plugging that into the formula gives:
A = π × (5)²
A = π × 25
A ≈ 3.14 × 25
A ≈ 78.5
Therefore, the area of the circle with a radius of 5 is approximately 78.5 square units.
