Answer

$A = 25\pi \approx 78.53 \text{ square meters}$ $C=10\pi \approx 31.42 \text{ meters}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: (1) The area $A$ of a circle can be found using the formula: $A=\pi{r^2}$ where r = radius (2) The circumference $C$ of a circle can be found using the formula: $C=2\pi{r}$ where r = radius The given circle has a radius of 5 meters. Use the formula and the given measurements above to obtain: $A= \pi(5^2) \\A= \pi(25) \\A = 25\pi \approx 78.53 \text{ square meters}$ $C=2\pi{r} \\C=2\pi(5) \\C=10\pi \approx 31.42 \text{ meters}$
