Answer 1

C) 136 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

`\textsf{\large Area of a triangle:}\ (1)/(2)\cdot b \cdot h`

Given:

• Base: 16 yd.
• Height: 17 yd.

Substitute the given values into the formula.

`\begin{aligned}A\triangle&=(1)/(2)(16)(17)\\ &=8(17)\\&=\boxed{136}\end{aligned}`

The area of the triangle is 136 yd².
