Answer: 12.5 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the area of a triangle is A = bh/2
The base and height are both 5, so its 5×5 divided by 2
25/2 = 12.5 or 12 1/2
Area is always square units, so use square inches
The "ramp" is the hypotenuse of the triangle. It's like they want to know how much they need to cover the side.
