Answer 1

The area of the given triangle, with a base of 24 yards and a corresponding height of 6 yards, is 72 square yards, calculated using the formula
`\(A = (1)/(2) * b * h\).`

To find the area (A) of the given triangle, we use the formula

`A = (1)/(2) * b * h\)`, where b is the base and h is the corresponding height. In this case, the base (b) is 24 yards, and the height (h) is 6 yards.

`\[ A = (1)/(2) * 24 * 6 \]`

First, multiply the base and height:

`\[ A = (1)/(2) * 144 \]`

Next, multiply by the factor
`\((1)/(2)\)`:

A = 72

So, the step-by-step calculation yields an area (A) of 72 square yards. The units of the base and height are both in yards, resulting in an area unit of square yards.
