You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Knowing the lengths, a and b, of two sides of a triangle,
and the measure, C of the angle those sides make,
you can calculate the area of the triangle as
Area=a%2Ab%2Asin%28C%29
or
Area=a%2Ab%2Asin%28C%29
a=15 , b=12, C=63%5Eo
Area=15%2A12%2Asin%2863%5Eo%29
sin%2863%5Eo%29=approx.0.891 (rounding)
Area=approx.15%2A12%2A0.891
Area=approx.highlight%28160%29
