The area of a triangle is given by the formula:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{base x altitude)}[/tex]Altitude is the same as the height. The base, in this case, is the side that measures 15 yards, and the height (altitude) is 5 yards. Therefore, we have:
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot(15yardsx5yards)=37.5yards^2[/tex]Thus, the area of the triangle is 37.5 square yards or 37.5 yards^2.
The answer is in squ
