Answer:

Area of ΔXYZ = 35.499 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

In triangle XOY,

Sin38° = [tex]\frac{\text{OX}}{\text{XY}}[/tex]

OX = (XY)Sin38°

OX = (9.3)Sin38°

      = 5.7257 cm

Area of a triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})[/tex]

                             = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{YZ})(\text{OX})[/tex]

                             = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(12.4)(5.7257)[/tex]

                             = 35.499 square cm

Therefore, area of the given triangle XYZ = 35.499 cm².
