\huge\text{Hey there!}


\textsf{The formula to finding the area of a regular triangle is}\rightarrow\mathsf{(1)/(2)* \bold{b}ase*\bold{h}eight}


\textsf{Assuming that your equation should look like}\rightarrow\mathtt{(1)/(2)* 5*5}


\textsf{If so, then let's solve for your equation, shall we? }


\mathtt{(1)/(2)* 5*5}


\mathtt{= (1)/(2)* (5)/(1)*(5)/(1)}


\mathtt{= (1*5*5)/(2*1*1)}


\mathtt{= (5*5)/(2*1)}


\mathtt{= (25)/(2)}


\mathtt{= 12(1)/(2)\approx 12.5}


\huge\text{Therefore your answer should probably be: }\\\\\huge\boxed{\mathtt{12(1)/(2)in^2\ or\ (25)/(2)in^2\ or\ 12.5in^2}}\huge\checkmark


\large\text{Either of those SHOULD work because they are all equivalent to}\\\large\text{to each other!}


\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}
