if the Base is b=2+%281%2F3%29yd and the Height is h=%283%2F5%29+yd, than the area will be
A=bh%2F2
A=%282%281%2F3%29yd%29%28%283%2F5%29yd%29%2F2
A=%28%282%2A3%2B1%29%2F3%29yd%28%283%2F5%29yd%29%2F2
A=%287%2F3%29yd%28%283%2F5%29yd%29%2F2
A=%28%287%2Fcross%283%29%29yd%29%28%28cross%283%29%2F5%29yd%29%2F2
A=%28%287%2F5%29yd%5E2%29%2F2
A=%287%2F10%29yd%5E2
