Answer
Area = 25$\pi$
The approximation of the area is $\frac{550}{7}$
Work Step by Step
The area of a circle is: $\pi$ $\times$ $radius^{2}$
So, Area of the circle = $\pi$ $\times$ $r^{2}$
Area = $\pi$ $\times$ $5^{2}$
Area = 25$\pi$
The approximation of the area is 25 $\times$ $\frac{22}{7}$ = $\frac{550}{7}$
