To find the area of a triangle, you can use the formula:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
First, we need to find the missing angle in the triangle. We know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, so:
128 degrees + (x-61) degrees + missing angle = 180 degrees
128 + x - 61 + missing angle = 180
67 + x + missing angle = 180
x + missing angle = 113
Now, we can use the law of sines to find the missing angle:
sin(113 degrees)/x = sin(128 degrees)/47 inches
sin(113 degrees) = x * sin(128 degrees)/47
x = 47 * sin(113 degrees)/sin(128 degrees)
x ≈ 42.94 inches
Now that we have the values of the base (47 inches) and height (42.94 inches), we can calculate the area of the triangle:
Area = 1/2 * 47 inches * 42.94 inches
Area ≈ 1011.18 square inches
Therefore, the area of the triangle is approximately 1011.18 square inches.
