So, the diameter is 25 cm. First calculate the circumference, which is 25pi in this case. Now the ratio of the circumference and the arc length should be the same as the area of the sector:area of the entire circle.

The area of the circle is πr^2. So the following equation should be used:

Arc length Area of sector
----------------- = ----------------
