Respuesta :

Since we are given 2 sides and 2 angles, we can use the Side Angle Side (SAS) method. The area of a triangle is given by the formula:
Area = absinC/2; where a and b are adjacent sides and C is the angle between a and b.

Area = 5*8*sin31°/2 = 10.3 square units.

The area of the triangle is 10.3 square units

The given parameters are:

DF = 5 units

EF = 8 units

Angle F =31 degrees

The area of the triangle is then calculated as:

[tex]Area = 0.5ab\sin(C)[/tex]

In this case, the area is:

[tex]Area = 0.5 * DF * EF * \sin(\angle F)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Area = 0.5 * 5 * 8 * \sin(31)[/tex]

Evaluate the products

[tex]Area = 10.3[/tex]

Hence, the area of the triangle is 10.3 square units
