Use the formula for the area of triangle to determine the area of a triangle with a base equal to thirteen yards and a high equal to 5 yards
The formula for the area of a triangle is given by:
Area = (1/2) * base * height
In this case, the base is equal to 13 yards and the height is equal to 5 yards. Plugging the values into the formula, we have:
Area = (1/2) * 13 yards * 5 yards
Simplifying this expression, we get:
Area = (1/2) * 13 * 5 square yards
Calculating the multiplication, we have:
Area = (1/2) * 65 square yards
Finally, multiplying 1/2 by 65, we find:
Area = 32.5 square yards
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 32.5 square yards.
