Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula

The area formula for a triangle is $A=\frac{1}{2}bh$, where $b$ is the base and $h$ is the height.

Step2: Substitute values

Given $b = 5$ inches and $h=10$ inches. Substitute into the formula: $A=\frac{1}{2}\times5\times10$.

Step3: Calculate

$\frac{1}{2}\times5\times10 = 25$ square - inches.

Answer:

A. 25 sq.in.
