Enter your answer as a decimal in the box. Round only your final answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

56.1 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation

The area of this triangle can be calculated using the formula,

`Area = (1)/(2) ab \sin( C)`

where a=8in.

b=14.2 in.

and C=99° is the included angle.

We plug in these values to obtain,

`Area = (1)/(2) * 8 * 14.2 \sin( 99 \degree)`

`Area = 56.1007`

We round to the nearest tenth to get,

56.1 sq. inch
