To find the area of a circle, you use the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \pi r^2
\]

where \( r \) is the radius of the circle. The radius is half of the diameter. Given that the diameter is 10 millimeters, the radius \( r \) is:

\[
r = \frac{10 \, \text{mm}}{2} = 5 \, \text{mm}
\]

Now, using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \), we can calculate the area:

\[
\text{Area} = 3.14 \times (5 \, \text{mm})^2
\]
\[
= 3.14 \times 25 \, \text{mm}^2
\]
\[
= 78.5 \, \text{mm}^2
\]

Thus, the estimated area of the circle is **78.5 square mm**.

The correct answer is:
• 78.5 square mm.
