The Area is 12.2512.25 square units

Explanation:

The angle between sides A and B /_C= 5*180/6=150^0C=51806=1500
The angle between sides B and C /_A= 180/12=15^0A=18012=150
The angle between sides C and A /_B= 180-(150+15)=15^0B=180(150+15)=150
By sine law , we know A/sinA=B/sinB=C/sinC :. A=SinA/sinB*B=7*sin15/sin15=7 Now A=7 ; B=7 and their included angle /_C=150^0 :. The Area =A*B*sinC/2=7*7*sin150/2 =12.25 square units[Ans}
