The area of a circle is calculated using the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle.
Given that the radius of the circle is 5 cm, we can substitute this value into the formula:
A = π(5)^2
A = π(25)
A = 25Ï€
Therefore, the area of the circle with a radius of 5 cm is 25Ï€ square centimeters, or approximately 78.54 square centimeters.
