A triangle has sides A, B, and C. Sides A and B have lengths of 17 and 4, respectively. The angle between A and C is #(5pi)/24# and the angle between B and C is # (5pi)/24#. What is the area of the triangle?

Explanation:

#hat A = (5pi)/24, a = 17, hat B = (5pi) / 24, b = 4#

Equal angles will have equal sides opposite toit.

Given #hat A = hat B = (5pi) / 24#

#:. "side a must be equal to side b"#

But given #a = 17, b = 4#
