The area of a triangle is

$color(white)("XXXX")$ $A = (b*h)/2$
$color(white)("XXXX")$ $color(white)("XXXX")$ where $b$ is the base
$color(white)("XXXX")$ $color(white)("XXXX")$ and $h$ is the height (= altitude)

The area of the given triangle is
$color(white)("XXXX")$ $A= (17*8)/2 = 68$ (square meters)
