Answer

Sine of the angle = 0.9142857 Angle = $66.1^{0}$

Work Step by Step

Given area 'A' = 16 sq inch Lengths of sides- a = 5 inch and b = 7 inch Let the angle included by these sides is $\theta$ We know that- A = $ \frac{1}{2}$ a b $\sin \theta$ i.e. $\sin \theta$ = $\frac{2 A}{a b}$ = $\frac{2 \times 16}{5\times7}$ =$\frac{32}{35}$ = 0.9142857 i.e $\sin\theta$ = 0.9142857 = Required Answer $\theta$ = $\sin^{-1}0.9142857$ = $66.1^{0}$
