Chapter - 9: Arrays

The area of a triangle can be computed by the sine law when 2 sides of the triangle and the angle between them are known.


Area = (1 / 2 ) ab sin ( angle )

Given the following 6 triangular pieces of land, write a program to find their area and determine which is largest.

Plot No. a b angle
1 137.4 80.9 0.78
2 155.2 92.62 0.89
3 149.3 97.93 1.35
4 160.0 100.25 9.00
5 155.6 68.95 1.25
6 149.7 120.0 1.75
