Given:
Triangle base: 8 yards
Triangle height: 3 yards
The area of a triangle is solved using this formula:
Area = (height * base) / 2
Using the given data:
Area of a triangle = (3 yards * 8 yards)/2
Area of a triangle = 24 square yards / 2
Area of a triangle = 12 square yards.
The area of the given triangle is 12 square yards.
