Answer:

A ≈ 160 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

the area (A) of a parallelogram given adjacent sides a and b and angle Θ between them is

A = absinΘ

here a = 12 , b = 15 and Θ = 117° , then

A = 12 × 15 × sin117° ≈ 160 cm²( to the nearest cm² )

in∆BDC

use sine rule for area

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail \dfrac{1}{2}absinC[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail \dfrac{1}{2}(12)(15)sin117[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail 90(0.89)[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail 80.1m^2[/tex]

  • Area of parallelogram=2(80.1)=160.2m^2
