What is the result of 5^2?

  1. 25

  2. 50

  3. 12

  4. 10

The correct answer is: 25

5^2 is the same as 5 multiplied by itself, which equals 25. Option B, 50, would be the result of 5^3. Option C, 12, is not a possible result of raising 5 to a power. Option D, 10, is the result of 2^3, not 5^2. Therefore, option A, 25, is the correct result for 5^2.
