Geometry Consider the triangle ABC shown in the figure. Sides AB and AC are both of length s, Îą is the angle between them, b is the base of the triangle, and h is the height.

(a) Express b in terms of s and sin

(b) Express h in terms of s and sin

(c) Use your answers to parts (a) and (b) to express the area of the triangle in terms of s and a product of two trigonometric functions of the angle sin

(d) Use your answer to part (c) to express the area of the triangle in terms of s and sin ??.

(e) Use your answer to part (d) to find the exact value of the area if s = 6 and
