(12) Gabe's rabbit has a triangular hutch with two sides measuring 20 inches and 32 inches respectively. If the angle between these two sides of the hutch measures 104.2, what is the area of the rabbit's cage to the nearest square inch?
---------------------
The area = b*h/2. b = 32"
h = 20*sin(180-104.2) = 19.3889"
Area = 310 sq inches
