Largest possible area of the triangle is 79.1852

Given are the two angles #(7pi)/12# and #pi/12# and the length 7

The remaining angle:

#= pi - ((7pi)/12) + pi/12 = (pi)/3#

I am assuming that length AB (7) is opposite the smallest angle.

Using the ASA

Area#=(c^2*sin(A)*sin(B))/(2*sin(C)#

Area#=( 7^2*sin(pi/3)*sin((7pi)/12))/(2*sin(pi/12))#

Area#=79.1852#
