What are Trigonometric functions?
The trigonometric function gives the ratio of different sides of a right-angle triangle.
[tex]\rm Sin \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}\\\\\\Cos \theta=\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}\\\\\\Tan \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}[/tex]
where perpendicular is the side of the triangle which is opposite to the angle, and the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle which is opposite to the 90° angle.
For the given triangle the length of AB and BC can be written as,
[tex]\rm Sin \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}\\\\\\Sin(30^o) = \dfrac{AB}{AC}\\\\\\AB = Sin(30^o) \times 16 \\\\\\AB=8\rm\ ft[/tex]
[tex]Cos \theta=\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}\\\\\\Cos(30^o) = \dfrac{BC}{AC}\\\\\\BC = Cos(30^o) \times AC\\\\\\BC = 13.8564\rm\ ft[/tex]
Now, the area of the triangle is,
Area of triangle = 0.5× 8 × 13.8564 = 55.4256 ft²
Hence, the area of the triangle is 55.4256 ft².
