  • Question
  • 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?


  • Options
  • A. 48 sq units
  • B. 24 sq units
  • C. 12 sq units
  • D. 6 sq units

  • 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.
