The circle is

(x-8)^2 + (y-2)^2 = r^2
Plug in your point (3,7) and you have

(3-8)^2 + (7-2)^2 = r^2
Now that you have r^2, you know the area is just pi r^2

I still don't get the answer steve? I calculated, but nothing close.

Hmmm. Let's see.

r^2 = 5^2+5^2 = 50
The area is πr^2, or 50*3.14159 = 157.09

Looks like C to me.
