Find the area of a triangle PQR. If: SinR = 5/8, p = 12cm, q = 17cm.

1 answer

To find the area of triangle PQR, we can use the formula:

Area = (1/2) * p * q * sin(R)

Given:
Sin(R) = 5/8
p = 12 cm
q = 17 cm

Plugging in the values, we have:

Area = (1/2) * 12 cm * 17 cm * (5/8)

Area = (1/2) * (204 cm^2) * (5/8)

Area = (102 cm^2) * (5/8)

Area = 510 / 8

Area = 63.75 cm^2

Therefore, the area of triangle PQR is 63.75 square centimeters.
