Area of circle is$$\pi$$$$*r^2$$
$$(\pi)*r^2= 25(\pi)$$
therefore, $$r=5$$

the equilateral triangle has 2 of its sides as radii
hence, side = $$r=5$$
there fore $$area=\frac{(\sqrt[2]{3})}{4}*5^2$$
= $$\frac{25\sqrt{3}}{4}$$

$$πr^2 = 25π$$

Or, $$r = 5$$

Thus, sides of the triangle are 5

Hence area of the equilateral triangle is $$\frac{25√3}{4}$$ , ANswer must be (B)
