The radius of the circle is the distance between the center P(5, 10) and the point Q(5, 0) on the x-axis.

Using the distance formula, the radius r is given by:

r = sqrt((5 - 5)^2 + (0 - 10)^2) = sqrt((0)^2 + (-10)^2) = sqrt(100) = 10.

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr^2.

Substituting the value of the radius r = 10 into this formula, we get:

A = π(10)^2 = π(100) = 100π.

Therefore, the area of circle P is 100π.
