Chapter 7 - Section 7.4 - The Area of a Triangle - 7.4 Problem Set - Page 396: 29

Answer

$\approx156$ square inches.

Work Step by Step

The area of half the parallelogram can be obtained by calculating the area of the triangle with sides $15$ and $12$ in and enclosed angle of $120^\circ$. Hence the area of the parallelogram is: $A=2\cdot0.5\cdot15\cdot12\sin(120)\approx156$ square inches.
