Area of triangle $A_{t} = 16$ $color(maroon)(A_t = 16$ sq units

Area of triangle $A_{t} = (\frac{1}{2}) a b sin C$ $A_t = (1/2) a b sin C$

$b = 8, ˆ A = \frac{π}{12}, ˆ C = \frac{5 π}{6}$ $b = 8, hat A = pi/12, hat C = (5pi)/6$

$ˆ B = π - \frac{π}{12} - \frac{5 π}{6} = \frac{π}{12}$ $hat B = pi - pi/12 - (5pi)/6 = pi/12$

It’s an isosceles triangle with sides a and b equal.

$:. a = b = 8$ units

Area of triangle $A_t = (1/2) * 8 * 8 * sin ((5pi)/6)$

$A_t = 16$

A triangle has sides A, B, and C. The angle between sides A and B is (5pi)/65π6(5pi)/6 and the angle between sides B and C is pi/12π12pi/12. If side B has a length of 8, what is the area of the triangle?
