Here we will show you the answer to 5 to the power of 2 (five to the power of two) and explain how we got the answer.

To find the answer, you multiply 5 by itself 2 times as follows:

5 × 5 =

And when we solve the problem above, we get the answer as follows:

25

Note that 5 to the power of 2 is the same as 5 raised to 2. In x^y, 5 is the base (x) and 2 is the exponent (y). Therefore, you can also write the problem and the answer as follows:

5²=25

You will also get the answer of 5 to the power of 2 (5 to the 2nd power) if you type 5 then x^y then 2 and then = on your scientific calculator.
