Trigonometry and area worksheet for Algebra 2
Algebra 2 puts this area formula next to the laws of sines and cosines: two sides and the angle between them give the area, even when that angle is obtuse. Regular polygons are split into triangles, and answers are rounded to the nearest tenth with the calculator in degree mode.
Also taught in Geometry and Precalculus, each at its own level and with its own examples.

How to do these
Find the area of a regular hexagon with side 6. Round to the nearest tenth.
- From the center the hexagon splits into 6 triangles, each with two sides of 6 and a 60° angle between them.
- Each triangle is ½ × 6 × 6 × sin 60° ≈ 15.59.
- 6 × 15.59 ≈ 93.5.
The answer is .
Where students go wrong
Leaving the calculator in radian mode. Sine of 40 in radians is about 0.745 instead of 0.643, so the area comes out wrong without looking obviously wrong.
Also called area of a triangle with sine, one half ab sin C or included angle.
