Solve for triangle ABC C =98° c = 29 a = 33
This is, I believe, the ambiguous case (SSA) where there may be zero, one, or two triangles formed with the given information.
So there's no solution?

There may be zero, one, or two triangles formed with the given information. --------- Have you studied the Law of Cosines and the Law of Sines?
Yeah but I don't understand it
Then, I'll choose the Law of Cosines.
I remember it in words: The square of one side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two side minus twice their product times the cosine of the opposite angle. PS: Here's a study resource for you: http://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/trig-cosine-law.html
First step is to draw the triangle and place the measures on the parts. |dw:1360910239454:dw|
