    Answer:  700 square inches

    ===============================================================

    Explanation:

    The dimension 25 bumps up to 25+5+5 = 35 since we add two copies of 5 onto it. This is done to account for the portions that hang off the edge.

    Similarly, the 10 inch dimension bumps up to 10+5+5 = 20 inches.

    The table cloth is 35 inches by 20 inches to give an area of 35*20 = 700 square inches.

    Side note: 700 square inches is approximately equal to 4.861 square feet (divide by 144 to convert from square inches to square feet).
