8 yd
square yards
(click the photo)
also could someone explain how you get the area of these?!?

Area of triangle = 20 square yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of triangle = 5 yd

The base of triangle = 8 yd

We need to find area of triangle.

The formula used is:

Putting values and finding area

So, Area of triangle = 20 square yards

step-by-step explanation:

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
