Learn how to find the area of a triangle

The video tutorial explains how to find the area of a triangle by first understanding the area of a rectangle. It demonstrates that the area of a triangle is half that of a rectangle with the same base and height. The formula for the area of a triangle is given as 1/2 base times height. An example calculation is provided, showing how to apply the formula to find the area of a triangle with a base of 7 and a height of 6.6, resulting in an area of 23.1 square yards.
