Since the area of the triangle is 25π(which is $$π * radius^2$$),
the radius of the circle can be calculated as follows :
$$π * radius^2 = 25π = > radius = \sqrt{25} = 5$$

Therefore, the diameter, which is twice the radius, is 10(Option B)

$$πr^2 = 25π$$

Or, $$r^2 = 25$$

So, $$r = 5$$

Thus, diameter will be (B) 10 , (answer )
