hmmm

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

how far did you get with it? were you able to get started with the law of sines?

camper4834 · Answer

well there is one problem

camper4834 · Answer

without angle A or side A we can't determine anything about those two

camper4834 · Answer

wait... yes we can

camper4834 · Answer

camper4834 · Answer

sin(100)/7*9 = 1.26618139673

camper4834 · Answer

sin inverse of that is undefined

camper4834 · Answer

SSS?

camper4834 · Answer

again am i doing something wrong?

camper4834 · Answer

@camerondoherty no this is SSA

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

camper4834 is correct

because you get sin(C) = 1.266 approximately, this means that there are no solutions

sin(x) has the range -1 <= y <= 1, which is why sin(C) = 1.266 has no solutions

camper4834 · Answer

right

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

you aren't doing anything wrong
