The first thing you need to do is convert the yards into feet. In one yard there are three feet. So 2*3=6 now you can do the triangle area equation. 6*4.25=25.5 then divide by two. 25.5/2=12.75So the area of the triangle is 12.75 ft^2Hope this helps
To solve this equation with algebra
4/7 = 1/x
(4/7)x = (1/x)x
4x/7 = 1
(4x/7)7 = 1(7)
4x = 7
4x/4 = 7/4
x = 1.75
1.75 yards of fabric are needed to make 1 dress.
