The circumference of a circle is given by the formula c=2 pi r, where r is the radius. In this problem, the circumference is given as 5pi ft. By rearranging the formula, we can find the radius, r=C/(2pi). Substituting the given value the radius is 5pi ft / (2pi) = 5/2 ft. The area of a circle is given by the formula A = pi r^2. Substituting the value of the radius, we get A = pi (5/2 ft)^2 = 25/4 pi ft^2. Therefore, the area of the circle is 25/4pi square feet.
