To find the area of a triangle given the lengths of two sides and the angle between them, you can use the formula:

Area = 1/2 * a * b * sin(C)

where a and b are the lengths of the two sides and C is the angle between them in radians.

In this case, a = 7 inches, b = 4 inches, and the angle between them is 144 degrees.

First, convert the angle to radians:

144 degrees * (π / 180) = 2.51327 radians

Now, plug the values into the formula:

Area = 1/2 * 7 * 4 * sin(2.51327)
Area ≈ 8.2 square inches

Therefore, the area of the triangle is approximately 8.2 square inches.
