The area of triangle $A B C: A=\frac{c^{2} \sin A \sin B}{2 \sin C}$ If one side and three angles of a triangle are known, its area can be computed using this formula, where side $c$ is opposite angle $C .$ Find the area of the triangle shown in the diagram. (Diagram cannot copy)

Let $\theta$ be an acute angle with sides $a$ and $b$ in a triangle, as in the figure below. (a) Find the area of the triangle (in terms of $h$ and $a$ ). (b) Find $\sin \theta$ (c) Use part (b) to show that $h=b \sin \theta$ (d) Use parts (a) and (c) to show that the area $A$ of a triangle in which an acute angle $\theta$ has sides $a$ and $b$ is $$ A=\frac{1}{2} a b \sin \theta $$
