ABC is a 3 4 5   right triangle     area = 1/2  3 * 4   units2

 

DEF is also a right triangle ....since arcos D = 3/5     EF = 3      so the area is the same as the first one !

Use cos law to find   CB

  then use Heron's rule to find the area of triangle ABC

 

Similar for   DEF    use cos law to find    EF    then heron's rule to find area

Heron's Rule:

 

Area of triangle ABC = √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c), where s = Perimeter/2 = (a + b + c)/2
