Answer

$${r^2} = 25$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & {x^2} + {y^2} = 25 \cr & {\text{Use }}r\sin \theta = y{\text{ and }}r\cos \theta = x,{\text{ then}} \cr & {\left( {r\cos \theta } \right)^2} + {\left( {r\sin \theta } \right)^2} = 25 \cr & {r^2}{\cos ^2}\theta + {r^2}{\sin ^2}\theta = 25 \cr & {\text{factor and simplify}} \cr & {r^2}\left( {{{\cos }^2}\theta + {{\sin }^2}\theta } \right) = 25 \cr & {r^2}\left( 1 \right) = 25 \cr & {r^2} = 25 \cr} $$
