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.
The formula for the area of a triangle is given by:
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
Simplifying this expression, we have:
Area = 1/2 * 65 yards^2
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 32.5 square yards.
