Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula for right triangle

The area of a right triangle is $\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$

Step2: Substitute given values

Base = 8 yd, Height = 4 yd.
Expression: $\frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 4$

Step3: Calculate the result

First compute $8 \times 4 = 32$, then $\frac{1}{2} \times 32 = 16$

Answer:

16 square yards
