Step-by-step explanation:


Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Trigonometric area formula is Area = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times absin(C)[/tex]

Where a and b are two sides of the triangle and C is the angle between these two sides.

As given in the figure, side a = 6 units, c = 2√2 units and ∠B = 80°

Then area of the triangle will be defined by the formula

Area = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times acsin(B)[/tex]

        = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times acsin(B)[/tex]

        = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times 6\times 2\sqrt{2}\times sin(80)[/tex]

        = 6√2×sin80°

        = 6×(1.414)×0.9848

        = 8.36 square units

        ≈ 8.4 square units

Option B is the answer.
