See explanation.

Explanation:

If (as in this question) 2 sides of a triangle and the angle between them is given then the area of the triangle can be calculated as:

#A=1/2*a*b*sinalpha#

Here the area is:

#A=1/2*7*10*sin20^o~~35*0.342~~11.97~~12#

Answer:
The area of the triangle is: #A~~12# square yards
