Partial Derivatives & the Gradient · Medium problem

A triangular plot has two sides of length a=10a=10 m and b=10b=10 m with the included angle C=π3C=\dfrac{\pi}{3} fixed exactly. Both aa and bb were each measured with a possible error of 0.10.1 m. Using differentials on A=12absin⁡CA = \dfrac12 ab\sin C, find the maximum possible error in the computed area (in m2^2). Give an exact answer in simplest radical form.
