Answer would be 58.5 yd^2 .

You should take the base of the triangle multiplied by the height.

Formula: 1/2×base×height

In this case, you know that base is 13yd and height is 9 yd.

So, apply the formula.

Area = 1/2(13yd)(9yd) = 58.5 yd^2

*Do not include the " invisible length as it is not part of the actual triangle.

*Do not include 32yd as it is a hypotenuse and not a base. Hypotenuse is a side that is opposite a right angle triangle.
