Answer:

<h2> 112.3 square units</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the sketch of the triangle attached.

Area of the triangle = $\frac{1}{2}|PQ| |PR| sinQPR$

Given PQ = 20, PR = 12 and ∠QPR = 68°

Area of the triangle = 1/2 * 20 * 12 * sin68°

Area of the triangle = 120sin68°

Area of the triangle = 112.26 square units

Area of the triangle ≈ 112.3 square units (to the nearest tenth of a square unit)
