The volume \( V \) of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula:

\[
V = \pi r^2 h
\]

where:
- \( r \) is the radius,
- \( h \) is the height, and
- \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.

In this case, the radius \( r = 5 \) cm and the height \( h = 10 \) cm. Plugging in the values:

\[
V = 3.14 \times (5^2) \times 10
\]

Calculating \( 5^2 \):

\[
5^2 = 25
\]

Now substituting back into the volume formula:

\[
V = 3.14 \times 25 \times 10
\]

Now multiplying:

\[
25 \times 10 = 250
\]

So:

\[
V = 3.14 \times 250 = 785
\]

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is:

\[
\boxed{785} \text{ cm}^3
\]
