$color(blue)(Delta " " A_t = (1/2) a b sin C = (1/2) * 5 * 7 * sin ((5pi)/8) = 16.17$

$a = 5, b = 7, hat A = pi/8, hat B = pi/4$

To find the area of the triangle.

$hat C = pi - pi / 8 - pi/4 = (5pi)/8$

$Delta " " A_t = (1/2) a b sin C = (1/2) * 5 * 7 * sin ((5pi)/8) = 16.17 " sq units"$

A triangle has sides A, B, and C. Sides A and B have lengths of 5 and 7, respectively. The angle between A and C is (pi)/4(pi)/4 and the angle between B and C is (pi)/8 (pi)/8. What is the area of the triangle?
