The area of a triangle is

$XXXX$ $color(white)("XXXX")$ $A = \frac{b \cdot h}{2}$ $A = (b*h)/2$
$XXXX$ $color(white)("XXXX")$ $XXXX$ $color(white)("XXXX")$ where $b$ $b$ is the base
$XXXX$ $color(white)("XXXX")$ $XXXX$ $color(white)("XXXX")$ and $h$ $h$ is the height (= altitude)

The area of the given triangle is
$XXXX$ $color(white)("XXXX")$ $A = \frac{17 \cdot 8}{2} = 68$ $A= (17*8)/2 = 68$ (square meters)
