15.75 is the area of the rectangle

Explanation:

A property of the rectangle is that its interior angles is equal to 90 degrees

Therefore, using the sin and cos ratios,

sin 70="AD"/"AC"

AD=ACsin70

AD=7sin70

cos70="DC"/"AC"

DC=7cos70

Area of the rectangle is ABCD = DC times AD = 7cos70times7sin70 =15.75
