find the area of the triangle below. be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula

The formula for the area of a triangle is $A=\frac{1}{2}bh$, where $b$ is the base and $h$ is the height.

Step2: Identify base and height

From the figure, the base $b = 11$ yd and the height $h=5$ yd.

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute $b = 11$ and $h = 5$ into the formula: $A=\frac{1}{2}\times11\times5=\frac{55}{2}=27.5$ square - yards.

Answer:

$27.5$ yd²
