Answer:

26 sq in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = measure of one acute angle

3x - 2 = measure of other acute angle

Since the triangle is a right triangle, the sum of the measures of the acute angles is 90

x + 3x - 2 = 90

4x - 2 = 90

4x = 92

x = 23

90 - 23 = 67

The acute angles are 23° and 67°

Now, let a = length of side opposite the 23° angle

sin 23 = a/12

a = 12 sin 23

Let b = length of the side opposite the 67° angle

sin 67 = b/12

b = 12 sin 67

Area = 1/2ab = 1/2(12 sin 23°)(12 sin 67°)

                     = 25.90

26 sq in to the nearest inch

Wow!  That is quite the problem.
