use the formula for the area of a triangle to determine the area of a triangle with a base equal to 13 yards and a height equal to five yards.

1 answer

The formula for the area of a triangle is:

A = (1/2)bh

where A is the area, b is the length of the base, and h is the height.

Using this formula, we can plug in the values given:

A = (1/2)(13 yards)(5 yards)

Simplifying, we get:

A = (1/2)(65 yards^2)

A = 32.5 yards^2

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 32.5 square yards.
