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
Don't delete comments because they have question marks, that's just a temporary issue with the script. Once you refresh the page they go away. :P
Oh /)_(\ in that case let me repost the answer choices /)_(\
Haha no problem there :P
A. No triangle is formed. B. A = 58.6°, B = 83.4°, b ≈ 15.6 C. A = 83.4°, B = 58.6°, b ≈ 15.6 D. The triangle cannot be solved with the Law of Sines.

Do you know the law of sines?
isnt it a/SinA = b/SinB = c/SinC?
Yes, and \(\large \frac{\sin38}{10}=\frac{\sin A}{19}\) would not be a triangle because that would give \(\sin A >1\) which is impossible.
The angle given is just too wide to be possible :)
so it is A?
Yes, A.
since that equation cannot make a triangle?
Yep :)
Thanks so much I actually have a word problem I need help with as well. Its reallly confusing me
Would you mind helping me through that one as well?
Sure
Two weather tracking stations are on the equator 146 miles apart. A weather balloon is located on a bearing of N 35°E from the western station and on a bearing of N 23°E from the eastern station. How far is the balloon from the western station? There is a picture but I am unable to attach its file :/ For the answer i kept getting 141 but it appears in the picture that the 146 side is way smaller and the 141 i am getting is way longer than that appropriating side ( this is a Essay question )
