Answer 2

12 3/4 square yards

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by the formula ...

A = 1/2bh

Your figure shows a triangle with a base of b=8 1/2, and a height of h=3. The length units are in yards, so the area units will be square yards.

A = 1/2(8 1/2)(3) = (4 1/4)(3) = 12 3/4 . . . . square yards
