A triangle has two corners with angles of (3 pi ) / 4 3π4 and ( pi )/ 6 π6. If one side of the triangle has a length of 4 4, what is the largest possible area of the triangle?

Largest possible area of the triangle Delta = 10.9282

Explanation:

Given are the two angles (3pi)/4 and pi/6 and the length 4

The remaining angle:

= pi - (((3pi)/4) + pi/6) = (pi)/12

I am assuming that length AB (4) is opposite the smallest angle.

Using the ASA

Area=(c^2*sin(A)*sin(B))/(2*sin(C))

Area=( 4^2*sin((3pi)/4)*sin((pi)/6))/(2*sin(pi/12))

Area=10.9282
