Question

How do you solve the triangle given A=30*, a=3, b=8?

Answer 1

There is no triangle having these measurements.

Explanation:

The Law of Sines tells us that we would have:

`sinB/8 = sin30^@ /3`

We know that `sin30^@ = 1/2` so we get:

`sinB = (8(1/2))/3 = 4/3`

There is no angle whose sine is `4/3` so there is no triangle that has these measurements.
