The opening of the jar is a circle.

The area of any circle is      (pi) x (radius)²

What's the radius of the jar ?
Well, the diameter is 5 inches.
Radius = 1/2 of the diameter = 2.5 inches.

So     Area = (pi) x (2.5 inches)² =

                   (3.14) x (6.25 square inches) =  19.625 square inches.
