Answer 3

got a picture?

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

Im sure it looks like this

Answer 6

or yours, either way

Answer 7

want to work with mine or yours?

Answer 8

mine

Answer 9

ok, but your 85 degree angle looks more like a 45 degree angle, so it might be a bit misleading
85 degrees is just shy of a right angle

Answer 10

first lets see if there is even one triangle

Answer 11

\[\frac{\sin(85)}{5}=\frac{\sin(C)}{3}\] so
\[\sin(C)=\frac{3\sin(85)}{5}\]

Answer 12

this makes
\[C=\arcsin(\frac{3\sin(85)}{5}\] looks like about \(36.71\)
