Given:

Radius of the circle, r = 5 cm

Let's find the area of the circle.

To find the area of the circle, apply the formula:

$\text{Area}=\pi r^2$

Thus, we have:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Area}=\pi\ast5^2 \\ \\ \text{Area}=\pi\ast25 \\ \\ \text{Area}=25\pi\operatorname{cm}^2 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the exact area of the circle is 25π square centimeters

ANSWER:

$25\pi\operatorname{cm}^2$
