A point lies on a circles diameter such that the distance from the point to the edge of circle is 4 times the distance from the point to the centre. What is the circles area in cm^2 if the distance from the point to edge is 5cm?

first we know that the length given has a 4:1 ratio with the remaining length of the radius so 5/4 + 5 = 25/4 = radius, the formula for the area of a circle is A=pi*(r^2) so the area is 625/16*pi.
