Igcse Trig

The document provides 11 examples of calculating the area of triangles given various side lengths and angles. For each triangle, the formula for calculating area (1/2 * base * height) is used along with trigonometric functions like sine and cosine as needed to determine the height. The values of unknown side lengths are then calculated by setting the given area equal to the area formula and solving the resulting equations.
