Answer

Fill the blanks with ... $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}ab\sin\theta$ ... $14$

Work Step by Step

Book references: p.498, p.483. A triangle described as in the problem text has area $ A=\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}ab\sin\theta$ For $30^{o}$, one of the special angles, for which we have a table of trigonometric ratios (p.483), $\displaystyle \sin 30^{o}=\frac{1}{2}$. So$, A=\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\cdot 4\cdot 7=14$ Fill the blanks with ... $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}ab\sin\theta$ ... $14$
