Answer:

C) 136 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:


\textsf{\large Area of a triangle:}\ (1)/(2)\cdot b \cdot h

Given:

  • Base: 16 yd.
  • Height: 17 yd.

Substitute the given values into the formula.


\begin{aligned}A\triangle&=(1)/(2)(16)(17)\\ &=8(17)\\&=\boxed{136}\end{aligned}

The area of the triangle is 136 yd².
