Answer 1

Area of triangle = 20 square yards

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=(1)/(2)* base * height`

Putting values and finding area

`Area\: of\: triangle=(1)/(2)* base * height\\Area\: of\: triangle=(1)/(2)* 8 * 5\\Area\: of\: triangle=4 * 5\\Area\: of\: triangle=20\:square\:yards`

So, Area of triangle = 20 square yards
