Answer:
90ft^(2)

Explanation:

Area of a triangle: A=(bh)/2

b = 20 ft

h = 3 yds = 9ft

Plug in

A=[(20ft)(9ft)]/2

A=180ft/2

A=90ft^2

Answer: 90 feet squared

Explanation:

The formula for finding the area of a triangle is

(bxh)/2

In this problem, you need to convert 3 yards to feet. The conversion is as follows:

1 yard = 3 feet

Therefore, 3 yards = 9 feet.

You can then plug everything in and solve as follows:

20x9= 180

Then divide 180 by 2.

180/2=90
