7 square units
Explanation:
In a triangle if 2 sides and the angle between them(included angle) are known, then the area can be calculated using the following :
area (A) =
12absinθ where a, b are the 2 sides and
θ the angle between them here a = 4 , b = 7 and
θ=π6
substitute theses values into the formula.
A=12×4×7sin(π6)=7 square units
