The other angle is $\"A=180-27-90=63\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "Then use the law of sines,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sin%28A%29%2F16=sin%2827%29%2FB\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"B=%28sin%2827%29%2Fsin%2863%29%29%2A16\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"B=8.15\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So then the area would be,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=%281%2F2%29%2816%29%288.15%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=65.2\"$ $\"ft%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
