Answer: D.
$35\ in^2$

Explanation:

Given: Side of equilateral triangle = 10 inches

Height of equilateral triangle= 7 inches

We know that the area of triangle is given by :-

$\text{Area}=(1)/(2)* base* height\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Area}=(1)/(2)*10*7\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Area}=35\ in^2$

Hence, the area of the given equilateral triangle =
$35\ in^2$
