Answer

The next term in the geometric sequence is \(\boxed{125}\)

Steps

Step 1 ：Find the common ratio by dividing the second term by the first term: \(\frac{25}{5} = 5\)

Step 2 ：Multiply the second term (25) by the common ratio (5) to find the next term: \(25 \times 5 = 125\)

Step 3 ：The next term in the geometric sequence is \(\boxed{125}\)
