To find the area of a triangle, we can use the formula:
Area = (1/2) * base * height
In this case, the base of the triangle is the side length of 23 meters and the height is 15 meters.
Therefore, the area of the triangle is:
Area = (1/2) * 23 * 15
= (1/2) * 345
= 172.5 square meters
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed among the options provided.
