The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 * base * height.

Since the base is 42 yards and the area is 672 square yards, we have:

Area = 1/2 * base * height
672 = 1/2 * 42 * height
height = (672 * 2) / 42
height = 32 yards

Hence, the height is 32 yards.

Area of triangle = 1/2*b*h

A = 672squre yards, b = 42yards

672 = 1/2*42*h

672 = 21*h

Divide to each side by 21.

672/21 = h

h = 32
