The Area of the triangle #=20.25# units

Explanation:

Opposite angle of side C is #/_C=pi/4=180/4=45^0#
Opposite angle of side A is #/_A=pi/4=180/4=45^0 :./_B=180-(45+45)=90^0# Using sine law #A/sinA=B/sinB or A=9*(sin45/sin90)=9/sqrt2#Since it is a right angled isocelles triangle, Side # B=9/sqrt2# The Area of the triangle #= 1/2*C*A # or Area#=1/2*9/sqrt2*9/sqrt2 = 81/4 =20.25 # Units[Ans]
