Answer:


A_T=84yd^2

Step-by-step explanation: We need to find the area of the triangle, and we know that in general the area of the Right triangle is as follows:


A_T=(1)/(2)(b* h)

In the provided figure, we have the following information available for us:


\begin{gathered} h=24yd \\ b=7yd \end{gathered}

Therefore the area is as follows:


\begin{gathered} A_T=(1)/(2)(b* h) \\ \therefore\rightarrow \\ A_T=(1)/(2)(7yd*24yd)=(1)/(2)(7*24)yd^2 \\ A_T=(1)/(2)(168)yd^2=84yd^2 \\ \therefore\rightarrow \\ A_T=84yd^2 \end{gathered}

Note! the units indeed are yd squared
