A triangle has sides A, B, and C. Sides A and B have lengths of 8 and 11, respectively. The angle between A and C is #(19pi)/24# and the angle between B and C is # (pi)/24#. What is the area of the triangle?

22
Explanation:
The interior angles in a triangle add up to
#pi - pi/24 - {19pi}/24 = pi/6#
The area of the triangle is given by the formula
#1/2 xx A xx B xx sin theta#
Therefore, the area of the above triangle is
#1/2 xx 8 xx 11 xx sin(pi/6) = 22#
