A pentagon is a 5 sided geometrical polygon whose 5 interior angles add up to 540 degrees.

That is why many structures such as bridges have girders arranged in triangle formations.

What is the area of the figure with 25cm 7cm 14cm 12cm 12cm?

Since there are five numbers given it is assumed that the figure in question is a pentagon. Unfortunately, a triangle is the only polygonal shape that is rigid. A pentagon, with all five sides of known lengths is not rigid - it can be flexed in the same way that a square can be flexed into a rhombus. The area of a rhombus can take any value from 0 up to the value of the square: the exact value is indeterminate. Similarly for a pentagon.
