Question

I need help trying to figure out what the area of the shape is.

Answer 1

90 square yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a right triangle is given by

`\text{Area}=(1)/(2)\text{base}* height`

Now, in our case

base = 15 yd

height = 12 yd

therefore, the area is

`\text{Area}=(1)/(2)15*12`
`\text{Area}=(180)/(2)`
`\boxed{\text{Area}=90.}`

Hence, the area of the triangle is 90 square yards.
