Well, you would have to mutiply the length and width and then divide that by 2 to get your area for the triangle

\text{In the given triangle we can see that the two sides length is 2.7 ft}\\ \text{and 3.4 ft and the angle between them is }40^(\circ)\\ \\ \text{we know that the area of a triangle with given two sides a and b and }\\ \text{the angle between them, C is given by}\\ \\ \text{Area}=(1)/(2)ab\sin C\\ \\ \text{so using this formula, the area of the given triangle is}\\ \\ \text{Area}=(1)/(2)(2.7)(3.4)\sin(40^(\circ))


\Rightarrow \text{Area}=(9.18)/(2)\sin(40^(\circ))\\ \\ \Rightarrow \text{Area}=4.59\sin(40^(\circ))\\ \\ \Rightarrow \text{Area}\approx 2.95

Hence the area of the triangle is approximately 2.95 square feet
