To find the area of the playground, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]
In this case, the dimensions of the playground are 16 inches (length) and 5 inches (width).
Now, plug in the values:
\[
\text{Area} = 16 \, \text{in} \times 5 \, \text{in} = 80 \, \text{square inches}
\]
Thus, the area of the playground is **80 square inches**.
