In an isosceles triangle, the two equal sides each measure 14 meters, and they include an angle of 45 degrees. Find the area of the isosceles triangle, to the nearest square meter.
-----
Formula: Area = a*b*sin(C)
-----
Your Problem::
Area = 14*14*sin(45)
Area = 14^2*sqrt(2)/2
Area = 98*sqrt(2) sq meters
