Use the formula for the area Of a triangle to determine The are of a triangle With base equal to 13 yards and height of 5 yards
The formula for the area of a triangle is:
Area = (1/2) * base * height
Given that the base is 13 yards and the height is 5 yards, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Area = (1/2) * 13 yards * 5 yards
To multiply, we can ignore the "yards" unit for now:
Area = (1/2) * 13 * 5
Now we can simplify the calculation:
Area = (1/2) * 65
Area = 65/2
The area of the triangle is 32.5 square yards.
