Explain why no triangle is possible with the given information in
A=38º B=69º C=73º a=12 b=14 c=13
In a triangle, the sides and opposite angles are in the same order of size.
If you have m<A < m<B < m<C then you must have a < b < c In your case you don't have this.
where did m come from and does< mean angle?
"m<A" means "measure of angle A"
ooh
Because it's AAA that is impossible to solve the lengths of the sides of the Sides. http://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/trig-solving-aaa-triangles.html
sorry i wrote side twice ha
m<A, m<B, m<C are the measures of the three angles, A, B, and C. a, b, c are the lengths of the three sides. Side a is opposite angle A; side b is opposite angle B; side c is opposite angle C.

This is not AAA.
yup i know that
the a is opposite of A and that this is not an AAA
If you add the measures of the three angles, you do get 180. That is the correct sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle. The problem here is that the side lengths are not in the same order of size as the opposite angle measures.
yah about the 180 huh? about the sides
I'll explain. See below, I wrote the angle names and their measures under the names. Ok? |dw:1394493110697:dw|
