Area of the triangle is #14.49# sq.unit.

Angle between Sides # A and C# is

# /_b= (5pi)/24=(5*180)/24=37.5^0#

Angle between Sides # B and C# is

# /_a= (3pi)/8=(3*180)/8=67.5^0 :.#

Angle between Sides # A and B# is

# /_c= 180-(37.5+67.5)=75^0#

Now we know sides #A=6 , B=5# and their included angle

#/_c = 75^0#. Area of the triangle is #A_t=(A*B*sinc)/2#

#:.A_t=(6*5*sin75)/2 ~~ 14.49# sq.unit

Area of the triangle is #14.49# sq.unit [Ans]
