How do you calculate the area of the following Lot?

I figured the following angles from the deed, which read:

N 86 degrees, 45 minutes E, for 322 feet.

S 10 degrees, 30 minutes W for 113 feet.

N 84 degrees, 30 minutes W for 368 feet.

N 50 degrees, 42 minutes E for 76 feet.

N 40 degrees, 40 minutes E for 15 feet.

problème de trigonométrie 2005-11-01
From Manon:
Soit un triangle ABC, de cotes a , b et c, avec A=45° et B=60°.
Apres avoir demontre que 3a²-2b²=0 (que jai fais en utilisant la regle du sinus) et a²-2c²+2ac=0 (que jai fait en utilisant la regle du cosinus), vous montrerez que laire du triangle ABC peut sexprimer: { [ 3 + racine carre 3 ] / 12 } b² unites.

Je ne sais pas comment arriver a cette expression de laire. Je narrive pas a exprimer c² et ac en fonction de b².. et je pense que ca pourrait vraiment aider..
puisque je suis arrive a letape:
ac[(racine carre 3) / 4]
avec ac = a² + c² - b²
et a² = 2/3 b²
ms c²= 1/3 b² + ac
