The total area of two bases can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle, which is πr^2.
Given that the diameter of the base is 5 inches, the radius would be half of the diameter, so r=2.5 inches.
Total area of two bases = 2 * π * (2.5)^2
Total area of two bases = 2 * 3.14 * 6.25
Total area of two bases = 39.25 square inches
Therefore, the total area of two bases is 39.25 square inches.
The answer is: 39.25 square inches.
