In the middle of town, State and Elm streets meet at an angle of 40º. A triangular pocket park between the streets stretches 100 yards along State Street and 53.2 yards along Elm Street. The area of the pocket park to the nearest tenth of a square yard is ____ square yards.

One formula for the area of a triangle is: Area = ½·a·b·sinC

where C is the angle between the two sides a and b.

In this problem, a = 100, b = 53.2, and C = 40°.

Area =  ½·100·53.2·sin40°     -->      Area = 1700 (rounded)
