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.
A. 18 square yards
B. 32.5 square yards
C. 27.5 square yards
D. 65 square yards
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 plug these values into the formula:
A = 1/2 * 13 * 5
A = 1/2 * 65
A = 32.5
The area of the triangle is 32.5 square yards, so the answer is B. 32.5 square yards.
