Use the image to answer the question. An illustration shows an 8 by 19 grid. A triangle is graphed. The base is labeled b equals 17. The height is indicated by a dashed vertical line segment from the top vertex to the base and is labeled h equals 6. Use the area of a triangle formula to find the area of a triangle with a base of 17 yards and a height of 6 yards. (1 point)

Answer 1

To find the area of a triangle with a base of 17 yards and a height of 6 yards, you can use the formula:

Area = 1/2 * base * height

Plugging in the values, we get:

Area = 1/2 * 17 * 6
Area = 1/2 * 102
Area = 51 square yards

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 51 square yards.
