The area \( A \) of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:
\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
For your triangle with a base of 10 inches and a height of 5 inches, the calculation would be:
\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \text{ inches} \times 5 \text{ inches}
\]
\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 50 \text{ square inches}
\]
\[
A = 25 \text{ square inches}
\]
So the area of the triangle is 25 square inches. The correct answer is **C 25**.
