Answer:

125 in^2

Explanation:

We have 2 Measurements we need to find and then add

Area of the triangles and the area of the square base

The square base is the easiest

5 in * 5 in= 25 in^2

The triangle area formula is 1/2 BH where B is base and H is Height

The base is 5 and the height is 10 for this triangle

(5*10)/2 is 50/2=25

We have 4 triangles. 4 * 25=100

100+base square

100+25 is 125
