To determine the area of a triangular lot ABC, a surveyor set-up a transit at point P inside the lot and recorded the following bearing and distances of each corners of the lot from P.

Corner	Bearing from P	Distance from P
A	N 47° 32' W	36.25 m
B	N 68° 52' E	58.32 m
C	Due South	65.25 m

Determine the area of the lot in square meter.
