Determine the number of possible triangles, ABC, that can be formed given B = 45°, b = 4, and c = 5. 1 2

u need to use the sin rule and find \(\angle C\)
\(\large\tt \begin{align} \color{black}{\dfrac{\sin B}{b}=\dfrac{\sin C}{c}\hspace{.33em}\\~\\}\end{align}\)
oh wait the second \(\angle C=62 ~~and~~(180-62)=118\) so the \(62+45+\angle A=180\) \(118+45+\angle A=180\) so the \(two\) triangles are does possible here
@mathmath333 I was thinking about a right isosceles triangle so it would be only one. I guess you have where one angle is 45 and not a right angle
how can right iscoceles triangle can form since \(\angle C=62~and ~118\)
@mathmath333 you have where one angle is 45 and not a right angle so you have 62 and 118
i have B->45 ,C-> 62 and A-.73 and B->45,C->118 and A-> 18 two possiblities
thnx
