Answer:

D. 17.61 square units

Explanation:

To find the area of the ∆ABC, we can apply the formula below:

Area of ∆ABC = ½×a×c×sin(B)

a = 10

c = ??

B = 22°

Let's find c using Sine Rule:

Thus:


(a)/(sin(A)) = (c)/(sin(C))

Where,

a = 10

c = ??

A = 180 - (22 + 70) = 88°

C = 70°

Plug in the values


(10)/(sin(88)) = (c)/(sin(70))

Multiply both sides by sin(70)


(10)/(sin(88)) * sin(70) = (c)/(sin(70)) * sin(70)


(10 * sin(70))/(sin(88)) = c


9.4 = c (nearest tenth)

✔️Area of ∆ABC = ½×a×c×sin(B)

Plug in the values

Area of ∆ABC = ½ × 10 × 9.4 × sin(22)

Area = 17.61 square units (nearest tenth)
