We know area of a triangle is 1/2.a.b.sin x...where x is the angle between ab,So
area of the whole triangle=sum of areas of the two triangles formed by median.
=1/2.5.9.sin x + 1/2.5.9.sin(180-x)
=45.sin x
BUT AREA=30
hence 45sin x = 30
=> sin x = 30/45 = 2/3 (ANS)

Dear Abhinav,

                                         =1/2.5.9.sin x + 1/2.5.9.sin(180-x)
                                         =45.sin x
BUT AREA=30
hence 45sin x = 30
=> sin x = 30/45 = 2/3 (ANS)
