Problem

The two congruent rectangles shown have dimensions $5$ in. by $25$ in. What is the area of the shaded overlap region? [asy] filldraw((0,0)--(13,0)--(25,5)--(12,5)--cycle,blue); pair A1=(0,0),B1=(25,0),C1=(25,5),D1=(0,5); draw(A1--B1--C1--D1--cycle,black); pair P,R; P=unit(A1-D1)+D1; R=unit(C1-D1)+D1; draw(P--(P+R-D1)--R,black); pair A2=(0,0),B2=(25/13,-60/13),C2=(25,5),D2=(25-25/13,5+60/13); draw(A2--B2--C2--D2--cycle,black); P=unit(A2-D2)+D2; R=unit(C2-D2)+D2; draw(P--(P+R-D2)--R,black); [/asy]
