The area of the triangle ABC is 29.61 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The measurements of the sides of the triangle are
b=9 \ cm ,
c=7 \ cm and
m \angle A=70^(\circ)

We need to determine the area of the triangle ABC

Area of the triangle:

The area of the triangle can be determined using the formula,


{ Area }=(1)/(2) {bc} \ sin \ {A}

Substituting the values
b=9 \ cm ,
c=7 \ cm and
m \angle A=70^(\circ), we get,


{ Area }=(1)/(2)(9)(7) \ sin \ {70^(\circ)}

Simplifying the values, we have,


{ Area }=(1)/(2)(63) (0.94)


{ Area }=(1)/(2)(59.22)


{ Area }=29.61 \ cm^2

Thus, the approximate area is 29.61 cm²

The area of the triangle ABC is 29.61 cm²
