3.86 square units
Explanation:
When given 2 sides and the angle between them, of a triangle.
the formula ;
# A = 1/2 ab sintheta # where a and b are length of sides and
#theta# the angle between
them, will enable the area to be calculated.here a = 4 , b = 2 and
# theta = (7pi)/12 #
# rArr A = 1/2 xx4 xx 2 xx sin((7pi)/12) = 3.86#
