Thread: Did I do this correctly?

Multiple choice question
Find the measure of angle B for the triangle with the following dimensions. A = 45° , a = 60.5 , b = 90
a. 92.82°
b. 79.39°
c. 96.32°
d. 85.33°

sin A/a = sin B/b
sin 45/60.5= sinB/90
90(sin 45/60.5)= sin B
sin B= 90(sin 45/60.5)

I Plug into calculator and I ger domain error.
Please Help!

given those dimensions, no triangle is possible. the following condition must be true for the ambiguous case (SSA) to yield a triangle.



recheck the given values.

What should i do then put on my paper that it is undefined or something?

no triangle solution is possible
