Using area with trigonometry is very simple. First of all you start need to start with the equation of a triangle is a=1/2bh. You need to use that formula to find the area, but if you might not have the height or the base. You need to use SOHCAHTOA to find that specific length of the base or height. First of all SOHCAHTOA is sin- opposite over hypotenuse, cosine- adjacent over hypotenuse, and tan- opposite over adjacent. This is used when the angle measure is given and you take that measure and you find the opposite, hypotenuse, and adjacent of that specific triangle. This allows us to find the area of the triangle without even having the height or the base and solving for it. = =
