There's a power button on the back of most recent models of iMac.


As you look at the display, the button is usually on the back side, behind the lower left corner:



Various Apple keyboards can be connected directly via USB-C or USB-A, depending on which iMac and which keyboard and which ports are involved.


If you're using a charging cable with your keyboard and iMac, plug that into the Mac and try the keyboard.


If you don't have a matching connector, an Apple-branded dongle or cable might work as an adapter.
