≈ 2.679 square units
Explanation:
Given a triangle with 2 sides and the angle between them known , as in this question then we can use the following formula.
area
#= 1/2ab sintheta # where a and b are the 2 sides and
#theta ," the angle between them " # here a = 2 , b = 7 and
# theta = pi/8 #
#rArr" area " = 1/2xx2xx7xxsin(pi/8) ≈ 2.679" square units "#
