Area of the $Delta ABC$ $color(indigo)(A_t = 88.5781$ sq units

Third angle $hat B = pi - hat A - hat C = pi - pi / 12 - (3pi) / 4 = pi / 6$

$22 / sin (pi / 6 )= a / sin (pi / 12) = c / sin ((3pi) /4)$

$c = (22 * sin ((3pi)/4)) / sin (pi/ 6) = (22 * (1/sqrt2)) / (1/2) = 22 sqrt 2$

Using SAS formula to calculate the area of the triangle,

$A_t = (1/2) b c sin A = (1/2) * 22 * 22 sqrt 2 * sin (pi / 12)$

$color(indigo)(A_t = 88.5781$ sq units

A triangle has sides A, B, and C. The angle between sides A and B is (3pi)/4(3pi)/4 and the angle between sides B and C is pi/12pi/12. If side B has a length of 22, what is the area of the triangle?
