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) 32.5 square yards
B) 65 square yards
C) 27.5 square yards
D) 18 square yards
The formula for the area of a triangle is: (base x height) / 2
Plugging in the values given:
Area = (13 yards x 5 yards) / 2
Area = (65 square yards) / 2
Area = 32.5 square yards
Therefore, the area of the triangle with a base of 13 yards and height of 5 yards is 32.5 square yards, which corresponds to option A.
