The formula for the area (A) of any triangle is:
.

.
in which B represents the dimension of the Base and H represents the dimension of the Height or Altitude.
.
For this problem you are given that B = 100 ft and H = 70 ft. Substituting these two values into the formula results in:
.

.
The 1/2 times 100 results in 50 and then multiplying the 50 times 70 results in 3500. The units are square feet. So the answer you are looking for is 3500 square feet.
.
Hope this helps you to understand this problem.
