Answer:
B. 150 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a Triangle = .5 * Base * height
So we need the height of the triangle, or the missing side.
We have to use Pythagorean Theorem to solve this:
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
15 ^ 2 + B ^ 2 = 25 ^2
b^2 = 25^2 - 15 ^ 2
b^2 = 625 - 225
b^2 = 400
sqrt (400) = 20
The missing height is 20. Now we plug it into 1/2 * b * H
.5 * 15 * 20
7.5 * 20 = 150
150 Yds
