A triangle has sides A, B, and C. The angle between sides A and B is pi/4π4 and the angle between sides B and C is pi/12π12. If side B has a length of 35, what is the area of the triangle?

Explanation:

hat B = pi - hat A - hat C = pi - pi/12 - pi/4 = (2pi)/3

As per the Law of Sines,

a / sin A = b / sin B = c / Sin C

a = (35 * sin (pi/12)) / sin ((2pi)/3) = 10.46

color(green)("Area of Triangle " A_t = (1/2) a b sin C

A_t = (1/2) * 10.46 * 35 * sin(pi/4) = 129.44
