To answer this question, first, we transform the base and the height from inches to yards.

Since the scale is 1 in : 4 yards, then:


\begin{gathered} 9\text{ in=36 yards,} \\ 6\text{ in=24 yards.} \end{gathered}

Substituting the above values in the formula for the area of a triangle, we get:


A=\frac{36\text{yards}\cdot24\text{yards}}{2}\text{.}

Simplifying the above result, we get:


A=(864)/(2)squareyards=432\text{ square yards.}

Answer:


A=432\text{ square yards.}
