Area = 1/2 * base * height.

The base is 2 1/3 yard = 7/3 yard.

1/2 * 7/3 * 3/4 (multiply top x top and bottom x bottom) = 21/24 = 7/8 square yards.

The only part you had wrong was the units.

Hope the solution helped. Sometimes you need more than a solution. Contact fcabanski@hotmail.com for online, private tutoring, or personalized problem solving (quick for groups of problems.)
