Question

Use da formula 4 da ares of a triangle to determine da area of a triangle with base to 13 yards and heights equal to 5 yards

27.5 square yards

65 square yards

18 square yards

32.5 square yards

Answer 1

To calculate the area of a triangle, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]

Given that the base is 13 yards and the height is 5 yards, you can substitute these values into the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 13 \, \text{yards} \times 5 \, \text{yards}
\]

Calculating it step-by-step:

1. Multiply the base and height:
\[
13 \times 5 = 65 \, \text{square yards}
\]

2. Now multiply by \(\frac{1}{2}\):
\[
\frac{1}{2} \times 65 = 32.5 \, \text{square yards}
\]

Thus, the area of the triangle is **32.5 square yards**.
