Question

I can't do the arcsin of 1.17 on my calc or google...  Please help!

I don't believe the sin function can exceed 1 (sin 90 degrees is 1) it ranges from -1 to +1.

Oh ya, sorry about that, very tired right now.

Wait, then can you help me with this?

anonymous · Answer

The given measurements may or may not determine a triangle. If not, then state that no triangle is formed. If a triangle is formed, then use the Law of Sines to solve the triangle, if it is possible, or state that the Law of Sines cannot be used. 

C = 38°, a = 19, c = 10

Using the law of sines you will be able to solve for angle A, if it is a legitmate triangle.  I do have to run.

anonymous · Answer

Okay, thanks.

radar · Answer

It is not a legitimate triangle as the sin A exceeds 1/
