In a ∆ABC, if a = 5, b = 6 and C = 60o, show that its area is (15√3)/2 sq. units.

ACCORDING TO QUES:

In a \[\vartriangle ABC,\text{ }a\text{ }=\text{ }5,\text{ }b\text{ }=\text{ }6\text{ }and\text{ }C\text{ }=\text{ }{{60}^{o}}\]

By using the formula,

Area of\[\vartriangle ABC\text{ }=\text{ }1/2\text{ }ab\text{ }sin\text{ }\theta \]

Where, lengths of the sides of a triangle are\[a\text{ }and\text{ }b\]

And, the angle between sides is\[\theta \]

So,

\[Area\text{ }of\text{ }\vartriangle ABC\text{ }=\text{ }1/2\text{ }ab\text{ }sin\text{ }\theta \]

\[=\text{ }1/2\text{ }\times \text{ }5\text{ }\times \text{ }6\text{ }\times \text{ }sin\text{ }{{60}^{o}}\]

\[=\text{ }30/2\text{ }\times ~\surd 3/2\]

\[=\text{ }\left( 15\surd 3 \right)/2\text{ }sq.\text{ }units\]

Hence proved
