The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
Given a base of 12 inches and a height of 5 inches, we can substitute these values into the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 5
\]
Calculating this step-by-step:
1. Multiply the base and height:
\[
12 \times 5 = 60
\]
2. Now take half of that result:
\[
\frac{1}{2} \times 60 = 30
\]
Thus, the area of the triangle is 30.
The final answer is:
30
