We know that whole circumference of a circle forms #2pi# radian at the center. So #2pi# radian is associated with whole area of the circle #pir^2# #"inch"^2#. Where #r# inch is the radius of the circle.Hence 4radian angle will be associated with sector of area #(pir^2)/(2pi)*4=2r^2#

So by the problem

#2r^2=25#

#=r=5/sqrt2=5/2sqrt2# inch
