Given the equation:
\[
5 \sqrt{5} \times 5^3 \div 5^{-3 / 2} = 5^{(a+2)}
\]
We start by expressing all terms as powers of 5:
\[
5^1 \times 5^{\frac{1}{2}} \times 5^3 \div 5^{-\frac{3}{2}} = 5^{a+2}
\]
When you combine the exponents, you add them:
\[
5^{1 + \frac{1}{2} + 3} \times 5^{\frac{3}{2}} = 5^{a+2}
\]
Since multiplying with the same base allows you to add exponents:
\[
5^{\frac{2}{2} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{6}{2} + \frac{3}{2}} = 5^{a+2}
\]
Simplify the exponents:
\[
5^{\frac{12}{2}} = 5^{a+2}
\]
Which simplifies further to:
\[
5^6 = 5^{a+2}
\]
Setting the exponents equal to each other gives us:
\[
a+2 = 6
\]
Solving for \(a\):
\[
a = 6 – 2
\]
\[
a = 4
\]
Therefore, the value of \(a\) is \(\boldsymbol{4}\).
