What is the area of an obtuse angled triangle given below with two sides are 8 and 12 and the angle included between two sides is 150 deg?

Correct Answer: 24 sq units

Explanation:

We know that, 


The area of a triangle with two sides given and included angle


A = 1/2 x product of sides x Sin(angle) 


 


Here the two sides are 8 & 12


Angle = 150


 


Area = 1/2 x 8 x 12 x sin150


Sin(150) = sin(90+60) = cos(60) = 1/2


 


A = 48 x 1/2 = 24


Area of the given triangle = 24 sq units.
