I will post a picture of the diagram.
The question asks me to find the area of the triangle. I am supposed to use the following formula: 1/2absinC where b is the base, however the perpendicular bisector of the base would cut into the only known angle so I don't know what to do.

>>1/2absinC 

This looks like a formula for the area of a triangle in which you know 2 sides of the triangle and the measure of the included angle of those two sides.

anonymous · Answer

That sounds about right, yes.

anonymous · Answer

And I think I am supposed to find the height by making another triangle out of the height, however if i did that it would cut into the angle that is known

directrix · Answer

Crank this out:

(1/2)* (4.7) * (6.8) * sin (110) =

Post what you get and we can compare answers, okay?

directrix · Answer

Why are you concerned with the perpendicular bisector?

anonymous · Answer

I was trying to describe the line that the height would make

anonymous · Answer

I get 15.0163

directrix · Answer

Just a second.

anonymous · Answer

My textbook says that that is correct (15.0cm^2)

directrix · Answer

I agree with your answer. 

Are you asked to round to the nearest tenth or hundredth?

как памоч?

anonymous · Answer

In the examples it say to one decimal point

directrix · Answer

Okay. 

So, that would be  15.0  163

The 1 in the hundredths place is less than 5.

So, 15.0 square cm as you posted earlier.

OK, I think I was over thinking it then. Thank you very much!

directrix · Answer

You are welcome.
