A triangle has sides A, B, and C. Sides A and B have lengths of 8 and 3, respectively. The angle between A and C is #(7pi)/24# and the angle between B and C is # (17pi)/24#. What is the area of the triangle?

Since #hat C = 0#, with given measurements, we cannot form a triangle.

#hat A = (17pi)/24, a = 8, hat B = (7pi)/24, b = 3#

#:. hat C = pi - (17pi)/24 - (7pi)/24 = 0#

For a triangle to exist, sum of the three angles must equal #pi^c#

Since #hat C = 0#, with given measurements, we cannot form a triangle.
