The standard form of the equation of a circle with its center at the point \((h, k)\) and a radius \(r\) is given by the formula:

\[
(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
\]

In your case, the center of the circle is at the origin \((0, 0)\) and the radius \(r\) is 5.

Substituting the values of \(h\), \(k\), and \(r\) into the equation, we have:

- \(h = 0\)
- \(k = 0\)
- \(r = 5\)

Thus, the equation becomes:

\[
(x - 0)^2 + (y - 0)^2 = 5^2
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
x^2 + y^2 = 25
\]

Therefore, the standard form of the equation of the circle is:

\[
x^2 + y^2 = 25
\]
