Trig question, need help!?

A landscape architect is designing a triangular garden to fit in the corner of a lot. The corner of the lot forms an angle of 70 degrees, and the sides of the garden including the angle are to be 11ft and 13ft, respectively. Find to the nearest integer, the number of square feet in the area of the garden. The steps would be appreciated so I know how to do this kind of problem in the future!

Trig question, need help!?
if you draw it out and place a dashed line for the height of the triangle you will see that the base is 11 and the height h = 13 * sin(70°)



the area of the triangle is 1/2 * 11 * 13 * sin(70°)

= 67.18802
Reply:This problem is too complicated for someone to explain to you online. It would be easier if you got someone to show you how to do it versus looking at a bunch of crazy steps.
