find the area of a circle that has a diameter of 10 inches

The radius of the circle is half of the diameter, which is 10/2 = 5 inches.

The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius.

Substitute the radius value into the formula:

A = π(5)^2
A = π(25)
A = 25π

Therefore, the area of the circle is 25π square inches.
