Question

What is the area of ABC? Helppppp

Answer 1

6 square units (rounded to nearest whole number)

Explanation:

Area of triangle is found by the formula 1/2 * base * height

But we can't easily figure this out using this formula, instead we use another formula for area of a triangle:

`A=(1)/(2)abSinC`

Where

A is the area

a and b are the two side given (3 and 5 in our case)

C is the angle between a and b (53 degrees given)

We can substitute into the formula and figure out:

`A=(1)/(2)abSinC\\A=(1)/(2)(3)(5)Sin53\\A=5.99`

The area is 5.99, to the nearest whole number, the area is 6
