The area of triangle ABC is the amount of space on the triangle

The area of the triangle is 54.84 square units

<h3>How to determine the area of triangle ABC</h3>

Start by drawing the triangle (see attachment)

Next, calculate the measure of angle B using the following tangent ratio

$\tan(B/2) = \frac 34$

This gives

$\tan(B/2) = 0.75$

Take the arc tan of both sides

$B/2 = 36.87$

Multiply by 2

$B = 73.74$

Next, calculate the length of side AD using the following equation

$AD = \tan(B) * BD$

This gives

$AD = \tan(73.74) * 4$

$AD =13.71$

The area of the triangle is then calculated as:

$Area = AD * BD$

This gives

$Area = 13.71 * 4$

$Area = 54.84$

Hence, the area of the triangle is 54.84 square units
