tanB/2 = 2/3

so sinB = 2tanB/2  / (1+ tan2B/2)  = 12/13

   cosB  = (1-tan2B/2)/(1+ tan2B/2) =5/13

 

tanC/2 = 1/2

so sinC = 2tanC/2  / (1+ tan2C/2)  = 4/5

   cosC  = (1-tan2C/2)/(1+ tan2C/2) =3/5

 

so sinA =sin(180- B-C) =sin(B+C) = sinBcosC +cosBsinC

                                                =56/65

so area of triangle = a2 sinB sinC /2sinA       where a = 8+6 =14

                           =84
