Default Triangular Plot

A surveyor is mapping a triangular plot of land. He measures two of the sides and the angle formed by these two sides and finds that the lengths are 400 yards and 200 yards and the included angle is 50°.

What is the measure of the third side of the plot of land, to the
nearest yard?

What is the area of this plot of land, to the nearest square yard?
