Area of the triangle is 3sqrt3 sq.unit.

Explanation:

Angle between Sides A and C is /_b= (5pi)/24

=(5*180)/24=37.5^0

Angle between Sides B and C is /_a= pi/8=180/8=22.5^0 :.

Angle between Sides A and B is

/_c= 180-(37.5+22.5)=120^0

We know sides A=3 , B=4 and their included angle /_c=120^0

Area of the triangle is A_t=(A*B*sinc)/2= (3*4*sin120)/2

= 6 sin120 =6 *sqrt3/2 =3sqrt3 sq.unit
