Question

Explain why the triangle with side a=5, side b=6 and angle A = 65 degrees cannot exist.

Answer 1

My teacher said something how the largest angle will have the longest side and the smallest angle will have the shortest side.

Answer 2

Do you have a calculator?

Answer 3

Calculate 6sin(65) =

Answer 4

It does not exist because side A is shorter than 6sin(65)

Answer 5

i know but how about without using the calc :$

Answer 6

6sin(65) is what is needed to compare side a to to dtermine if there is a triangle solution. I don't know how to do this without calculating what 6sin(65) is. I am sorry I cannot answer your question.
