Area = 9 #3/8# inches squared

Explanation:

The formula for finding the area of a triangle is
#(bh)/2#, where
#b=# the length of the base
#h=# the height of the triangle
Since we have those numbers, we can simply substitute them into the equation, like so: #(5*3.75)/2=9.375#, or #9 3/8# inches squared.
Hope that helped!
