A triangular plot of land XYZ is such that XY = 34m, XZ = 66m and angle YXZ = 96.70

A triangular plot of land XYZ is such that XY = 34m, XZ = 66m and angle YXZ = 96.70.

a) Calculate the length YZ
b) In order to subdivide the plot, a fencing post P is located on YZ such that YP: PZ = 1: 3. Calculate the area of the plot XYZ and hence find the area of the triangular subdivision XPY.
