color(purple)(A_t = 3.31 sq units

Explanation:

hat A = 18^@, hat B = 35^@, c = 3.4

hat C = (180-18-35) = 127^@

As per Law of Sines,

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

b = (c * sin B) / sin C

b = (3.4 * sin 35) / sin 127 = 2.44

Area of triangle -A_t = (1/2) b c sin A

A_t = (1/2) * 2.44 * 3.4 * sin (127)

color(purple)(A_t = 3.31 sq units
