A circle doesn't have an apothem.

And apothem is a segment from the center of a regular polygon to the middle of one of its sides.

If you consider a circle as a regular polygon with an infinite number of sides, then the apothem would be the radius of the circle.

So the length of the "apothem" of your circle is 5 units.
