Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula: $\frac{1}{2}ab\sin C$. Convert the angle to decimal form: $59^\circ 24' = 59 + \frac{24}{60} = 59.4^\circ$. Using the sine of $59.4^\circ$ (approximately $0.8572$), the area is $\frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 14.5 \times 0.8572 \approx 37.44$ square units.
