Answer:

The area of the park is 1,11,739 square feet.

Explanation:

Since, the area of a triangle is,


A=(1)/(2)* s_1* s_2* sin\theta

Where,
s_1 and
s_2 are the adjacent sides and
\theta is the included angle of these sides,

Here, the two adjacent sides of the park are 533 feet and 525 feet, while, the angle included by these sides is 53°.

That is,
s_1 = 533 ft,
s_2 = 525 ft and
\theta = 53°,

Hence, the area of the park is,


A=(1)/(2)* 533* 525* sin 53^(\circ)


=(279825* 0.79863551004)/(2)


=(223478.181599)/(2)=111739.090799\approx 111739\text{ square ft}
