Use the formula for the area of a triangle to determine the area of a triangle with base equal to 13 yards and height equal to 5 yards.
(1 point)
The formula for the area of a triangle is A = (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:
A = (1/2) * 13 yards * 5 yards
Simplifying the expression, we have:
A = (1/2) * 65 yards²
Multiplying 1/2 and 65, we get:
A = 32.5 yards²
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 32.5 square yards.
