Question

Find the area of ΔABC.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You know two sides of the triangle and the angle between them, so use the Law of Cosines to solve the triangle.

a² = √(b²+c² - 2bc·cosA)

= √(9²+7.8² -  2·9·7.8·cos(32°)

≅ 4.8

Then use Heron's formula to calculate the area.

semiperimeter s = 0.5×(a+b+c) ≅ 10.8

area = √(s-(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)) ≅ 18.6 square units
