By integration, using y=25−x2y=\sqrt{25-x^2} for the first-quadrant arc of x2+y2=25x^2+y^2=25,

A=∫0525−x2 dx=[x225−x2+252sin⁡−1x5]05=(0+252⋅π2)−0=25π4A = \int_0^5 \sqrt{25-x^2}\,dx = \left[\frac{x}{2}\sqrt{25-x^2} + \frac{25}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{x}{5}\right]_0^5 = \left(0+\frac{25}{2}\cdot\frac{\pi}{2}\right) - 0 = \frac{25\pi}{4}

This is also immediate from the elementary formula: a quarter of a circle of radius 55 has area 14π(5)2=25π4\frac{1}{4}\pi(5)^2 = \frac{25\pi}{4}. Checking this against the four printed choices -- 25π3\frac{25\pi}{3}, 5π5\pi, 55, 33 -- none of them equals 25π4\frac{25\pi}{4} (numerically about 19.6319.63); the printed option (A) is closest in …
