B. 12.75 ft. Squared
C. 8.5 yd squared
D. 25.5 ft squared
Help me out, please

Answer 1

The first thing you need to do is convert the yards into feet. In one yard there are three feet. So 2*3=6 now you can do the triangle area equation. 6*4.25=25.5 then divide by two. 25.5/2=12.75So the area of the triangle is 12.75 ft^2Hope this helps
