Answer:

See Below.

Explanation:

Steps:

1) Draw the altitude of the triangle from Vertex B to side CA and label it h.

2) Find
\sin(C) of the triangle.*

3)
\displaystyle \sin(C)=(h)/(a)

4) Solve for h.

5)
h=a\sin(C)

6) Substitute expression for h into traditional formula for area of a triangle,
\displaystyle A=(1)/(2)bh.

7)
\displaystyle A=(1)/(2)ba\sin(C)=(1)/(2)ab\sin(C)

(We acquire two right triangles after drawing h since it is an altitude. We will use the smaller of the two.)
