1.7.5 Area of a triangle

Which angle must be used with two chosen sides in the sine area formula?

A

The included angle between the two sides.

B

Yes - the perpendicular may meet the extended base.

C

It is the perpendicular component of side bbb.

D

From A=12absin⁡CA=\frac12ab\sin CA=21​absinC, the missing side is b=2Aasin⁡C\boxed{b=\frac{2A}{a\sin C}}b=asinC2A​​.
