A triangle has sides A, B, and C. Sides A and B have lengths of 12 and 5, respectively. The angle between A and C is #(7pi)/24# and the angle between B and C is # (5pi)/24#. What is the area of the triangle?

#area=30#

First, you would find the third angle:

#hat(AB)=pi-7/24pi-5/24pi=12/24pi=1/2pi#

Well, the triangle is a rectangle triangle!

So you would get the area by simply multiplying the two sides A and B and dividing by 2:

#area=A*B*1/2#

#=cancel12^6*5*1/cancel2=30#
