EXPLANATION
The area of triangle given included angle and length of two sides can be calculated using the formula:
![Area = (1)/(2) ab \sin(C)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/kbgv7q122jm3tnkigglvgrtwmgwgtrnn4k.png)
Where C=55° is the included angle and a=12 cm , b=10cm are the known sides.
We plug in these values into the formula to get,
![Area = (1)/(2) * 12 * 10 \sin(55 \degree)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/high-school/8vyf0eoikpwcqhs92f1olmkjhy8ua8ypaj.png)
![Area =49 .14912266](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/high-school/292j1tx2zw09h9pvy68t4mpvnqgra2isg4.png)
Rounding to the nearest tenth, the area is
![Area =49.1 {cm}^(2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/high-school/diwd7zjn3i0utmgl6i8zm91gsrh16h46hl.png)
