From the question, we are asked to find the area.
Since all the sides of the figure are the same, then it is a square.
So we will be using the area of a square formula to solve it.
Formula for area of a square is:
Area = a x a = a²
a = 5 in
So,
Area = 5 x 5 = 5² = 25
Therefore, the area of the square is 25 in²
