Question
Solve each problem.Area of a Metal Plate A painter is going to apply a special coating to a triangular metal plate on a new building. Two sides measure $16.1 \mathrm{m}$ and $15.2 \mathrm{m} .$ She knows that the angle between these sides is $125^{\circ} .$ What is the area of the surface she plans to cover with the coating?
Step 1
The formula is: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} ab \sin(C) \] where \( a \) and \( b \) are the lengths of the two sides of the triangle, and \( C \) is the included angle between these sides. Show more…
