I presume the figure is a rectangle?

It has length of 10 yards and a width of 13 yards?

The area would be length * width = 10 * 13 = 130 square yards.

You posted this under triangles?

If this figure is a triangle, then we need to make some assumptions.

The area of a triangle is 1/2 * b * h where b is the base and h is the height.

If you assume that the base is 10 yards and the height is 13 yards, then the area would be 1/2 * 10 * 13 = 65 square yards.

If you assume that the base is 13 yards and the height is 10 yards, you would get the same area equal to 1/2 * 13 * 10 = 65 square yards.
