Answer:

43.3 square inches

Explanation:

Given two sides a and b and the angle α between them, the area of the triangle can be computed as ...

A = (1/2)ab·sin(α)

Putting the given values into the formula gives ...

A = (1/2)(14.1 in)(7.8 in)sin(52°) ≈ 43.3 in²

The area of the triangle is about 43.3 square inches.

In △WXY , WX=14.1 inches, WY=7.8 inches, and m∠W=52∘ . What is the area of △WXY ? Enter-example-1
