The area of the triangle is # 2.33(2dp) # sq.unit.

The angle between sides #A and C# is #/_b=(13pi)/24 = (13*180)/24= 97.5^0#
The angle between sides #B and C# is #/_a=(3pi)/8 = (3*180)/8= 67.5^0#

The angle between sides #A and B# is #/_c=180-(97.5+67.5)= 15^0#

We know sides #A=6 , B=3# and their included angle #/_c= 15^0#

The area of the triangle is #A_t=1/2*A*B*sinc=1/2*6*3*sin15=9*sin15~~ 2.33(2dp) #sq.unit [Ans]
