To find the area of a circle, you use the formula A = πr^2 where r is the radius of the circle.

Given that the circumference of the circle is 5π m, we can find the radius by using the formula for circumference, C = 2πr.
So, 5π = 2πr
r = 5π / 2π
r = 5 / 2
r = 2.5 m

Now, we can find the area using A = πr^2:
A = π(2.5)^2
A = π(6.25)
A = 6.25π

Therefore, the area of the circle is 6.25π square meters.
