Answer 1

Answer:

Area of triangle = 20 square yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of triangle = 5 yd

The base of triangle = 8 yd

We need to find area of triangle.

The formula used is: $Area\: of\: triangle=\frac{1}{2}\times base \times height$

Putting values and finding area

$Area\: of\: triangle=\frac{1}{2}\times base \times height\\Area\: of\: triangle=\frac{1}{2}\times 8 \times 5\\Area\: of\: triangle=4 \times 5\\Area\: of\: triangle=20\:square\:yards$

So, Area of triangle = 20 square yards
