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)
• 65 square yards
• 18 square yards
• 27.5 square yards
• 32.5 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 square yards
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 32.5 square yards.
The correct answer is:
• 32.5 square yards
