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

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

where \( r \) is the radius of the circle.

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

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

Now, using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

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

Calculating the radius squared:

\[
(5 \text{ mm})^2 = 25 \text{ mm}^2
\]

Now, substitute back into the area formula:

\[
\text{Area} = 3.14 \times 25 \text{ mm}^2
\]

Calculating that:

\[
\text{Area} = 78.5 \text{ mm}^2
\]

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