Solution

Solution Steps

The provided text seems to have some errors and is a bit confusing. It mixes up the concepts of triangles and rectangles, and the formula presented is incorrect. The question asks to find the area of the triangle, but the provided solution calculates something else. Let's clarify the concepts and solve the example correctly.

Step 1: Correct Formula for Area of a Triangle

The area of a triangle is given by the formula: \(A = \frac{1}{2} * base * height\)

Step 2: Analyze the given image

The first image is unclear, so we'll focus on "Example 1" which shows a parallelogram, not a triangle. However, since the question asks for the area of the _triangle_, we will assume the question intends to find the area of a triangle with the same base and height as the depicted parallelogram. The parallelogram has a base of 8 yd and a height seemingly indicated as 8 yd.

Step 3: Calculate the area

Assuming the triangle has a base of 8 yd and a height of 8 yd, we can calculate its area using the correct formula:

\(A = \frac{1}{2} * base * height\) \(A = \frac{1}{2} * 8 \text{ yd} * 8 \text{ yd}\) \(A = \frac{1}{2} * 64 \text{ yd}^2\) \(A = 32 \text{ yd}^2\)
