OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so it is 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I want to know why this triangle CANNOT exist???????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because you need another angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Becuase angle B would have to be greater than 117 degrees as the greater angle lies opposite the longer side. But angle B cannot be more than 117 with angle A being 117. All 3 angles of a triangle must add up to 180.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

side b = 34, a = 22, so angle B must be greater than angle A!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!
