A triangle has sides A, B, and C. If the angle between sides A and B is (5pi)/12, the angle between sides B and C is pi/3, and the length of B is 2, what is the area of the triangle?

A_t = (1/2) * 2.4495 * 2 * sin ((5pi)/12) = color (red)(2.366

Explanation:

Given : b = 2, hatA = pi/3, hatC = (5pi)/12

hatb = pi - (pi/3 + (5pi)/12) = pi/4

a / sin A = b / sin B = c / sin C

a = (b * sin A) / sin B = (2 * sin (pi/3)) / sin ((pi/4) = 2.4495

A_t = (1/2) a b sin C

A_t = (1/2) * 2.4495 * 2 * sin ((5pi)/12) = color (red)(2.366
