Answer:

C) 15,120 square inches

Explanation:

To solve this problem we first need to convert both legs of the triangle to inches. 10 ft * 12 is 120 and 7 yards is roughly 21 ft and that times 12 is 252. All we have to do now is to plug these values into the formula for area of a triangle: 1/2(b x h) = 1/2(252 * 120) = 1/2(30240) = 15,120 square inches.
