1. The formula for the area of a triangle is  
   $$
   A = \frac{1}{2} \times b \times h
   $$

2. Substitute the base $$ b = 15 $$ yards and the height $$ h = 7.5 $$ yards into the formula:  
   $$
   A = \frac{1}{2} \times 15 \times 7.5
   $$

3. Multiply the base and height:  
   $$
   15 \times 7.5 = 112.5
   $$

4. Multiply by $$\frac{1}{2}$$:  
   $$
   A = \frac{1}{2} \times 112.5 = 56.25
   $$

The area of the triangle is $$ 56.25 $$ square yards.
The area of the triangle is 56.25 square yards.
