Explanation:

hat A = pi/12, hat C = pi/4, hat B = (2pi)/3, b = 1ˆA=π12,ˆC=π4,ˆB=2π3,b=1

![edv-nord.info)

As per Law of sines,

a = (b * sin A) / sin B = (1 * sin ((2pi)/3)) / sin (pi/12)a=bsinAsinB=1sin(2π3)sin(π12)

a = 3.346a=3.346

"Area of Triangle " A_t = (1/2) a b sin CArea of Triangle At=(12)absinC

A_t = (1/2) * 3.346 * 1 * sin (pi/4) = 1.183At=(12)3.3461sin(π4)=1.183
