use cosine rule to find the length. Then use the formula:1/2 a*b*sinc to find the area, and add both the triangles.

Use the sine rule to find another side in the non-right angled triangle - I can't check what you did because I can't see all of it.

Not sure what the first few lines are about ....

You did use the sine rule but I can't see what you got.
