A triangle has sides A, B, and C. The angle between sides A and B is (7pi)/127π12 and the angle between sides B and C is pi/12π12. If side B has a length of 72, what is the area of the triangle?

Area of the triangle A_t = color(crimson)(748.32)At=748.32

Explanation:

hat A = pi/12,hat C = (7pi):12, hat B = pi/3, b = 72ˆA=π12,ˆC=(7π):12,ˆB=π3,b=72

Law of Sines a/sin A = b / sin B = c / sin CasinA=bsinB=csinC

Area = A_t = (1/2) a b sin CArea=At=(12)absinC

a = (b sin A) / sin B = (72 * sin (pi/12)) / sin (pi/3) = 21.52a=bsinAsinB=72sin(π12)sin(π3)=21.52

A_t = (1/2) * 21.52*72*sin((7pi)/12) = color(crimson)(748.32)At=(12)21.5272sin(7π12)=748.32
