area 97.568 square units

Explanation:

calculate the area ( A ) of the triangle using

xA=12ABsinC

where C is the angle between sides A and B

we require to calculate the side A

the third angle in the triangle is

π(7π12+π12)=π3

using the sine rule in triangle ABC

Asin(π12)=26sin(π3)

A=26sin(π12)sin(π3)7.77

area( A)=12×7.77×26×sin(7π12)

areaA97.568 to 3 dec. places
